This is part of the massive entrance pylons to Philae the Temple of Isis that was built by King Ptolemy II in 350BC at Aswan, the Nubian City on the River Nile. The temple was saved from a watery grave by UNESCO in 1960 when the temple was relocated to higher ground piece by piece due to increasing water damage from the rising water level of the Aswan Dam water project now known as Lake Nasser after the First Egyptian President.
