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 ate 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. This Project has been financed by both the Egyptian Government and the international community alerted by UNESCO. Detail of the colums of the Mammisi (House of Birth of Horus the Sun-god). The capitals show the face of the goddess Hathor. 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 plongeaient en permanence dans l'eau sur un tiers environ de leur hauteur et ils étaient soumis à des variations quotidiennes de niveau qui usaient les fondements et auraient entraîné 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. Ce projet a été financé par le gouvernement égyptien et la communauté internationale alertée par l'UNESCO. Détail des colonnes du Mammisi - Maison de la Naissance - ou naquit Horus le dieu-Soleil. Les chapiteaux portent l'effigie de la déesse Hathor. |
