English: The international campaign for the saving of the Nubian monuments, was launched by UNESCO in 1960. Following the construction of the Aswan high dam, the monuments of the Island of Philae were permanently flooded to a third of their height and subject to daily fluctuations in the water level which eat away their foundations and threatened to bring them down to ruins. In May 1968, it was decided to dismantle and re-erect the monuments on the neighbouring island of Agilkia which is sufficiently elevated to be above the maximum water level. Work in progress on the Temple of Isis. Français : Campagne internationale pour la sauvegarde des monuments de Nubie lancée par l'UNESCO en 1960. A la suite de la construction du haut-barrage d'Assouan, les monuments de l'île de Philae plongent en permanence dans l'eau sur un tiers environ de leur hauteur et ils sont soumis à des variations quotidiennes de niveau qui usent les fondements et entraineront inévitablement l'effondrement de l'ensemble. C'est pourquoi il a été décidé, en mai 1968, de déplacer les monuments sur l'île voisine d'Agilkia, assez élevée pour toujours émerger au-dessus du niveau maximum des eaux. Travaux en cours sur le Temple d'Isis. |
