Abu Simbel and the Nubian Temples Hardcover – January 7, 2020

This beautiful book is filled with lots of valuable information about the Nubian temples including more than 80 drawings, illustrations, photographs, maps, diagrams and even an illustrated list of the numerous gods depicted at Abu Simbel and where to find them at the temple when you come to visit. There is also information on many of the other lesser known temples in lower Nubia such as Kalabsha, Gerf Hussein and the temple of Wadi al-Sebua.The book is also written very well with lots of fascinating insights and information into Abu Simbel's creation more than 3,000 years ago, it's historical context during the late Bronze age of Rameses II, it's discovery in the early 19 century and also the internationally supported effort in the 20th century to save the temples from the rising waters behind the Aswan Dam.I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to learn more about these structures and the ancient civilization that built them.

Thanks for the great service. Book is pristine!!

It is a Christmas present since my husband is so interested in reading about Egypt.
