---

Temple kiosk of Trajan, Philae, Egypt, 20th century. This building contains reliefs depicting the Roman Emperor Trajan (53-117) making offerings to the Egyptian gods Osiris, Isis and Horus. Like all the buildings on the island of Philae, the kiosk was moved to the nearby island of Agilkai in 1977-1980 to save it from damage by the Nile floodwaters after the construction of the Aswan Dam.
