Info Trajan's Kiosk, Philae, Aswan, Egypt. The unfinished hypaethral temple, currently located on Agilkia Island, is attributed to Trajan, Roman emperor from 98 to 117 AD, due to his depiction as pharaoh seen on some of the interior reliefs. However, the majority of the structure dates to an earlier time, possibly to the reign of Augustus. The temple complex was located originally on Philae Island, near the expansive First Cataract of the Nile in Upper Egypt. The temple complex was dismantled and moved to nearby Agilkia Island as part of the UNESCO Nubia Campaign project, protecting this and other complexes before the 1970 completion of the Aswan High Dam. The function of the 15.85 metres high kiosk was likely "to shelter the bark of Isis at the eastern banks" of Philae island. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 11:45, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
Support -- Poco a poco (talk) 11:45, 27 November 2022 (UTC)- Support Straightforward presentation, but I don't think there is any better way to depict this temple, and quality is very good as usual. Cmao20 (talk) 16:15, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
- Support per Cmao20. I also like the angle, which enables us to see more of the interior and side than if we had a head-on view. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:36, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
