High Dam  
The High Dam of Aswan was a major design achievement. It was built in the mid 1960s. The dam helped generate electricity. It also kept flood water in the artificial lake of Nasser.  

Unfinished Obelisk  
The Unfinished Obelisk is linked to Queen Hatshepsut, dated to 1508 to 1458 BC. It is a striking work of architecture. The obelisk is said to weigh about 200 African elephants. Its height is 41.75 meters, which is 137.0 ft. It is one of the best open air museums in the world. It also shows the skill of ancient Egyptian stone carving methods.

Philae Temple  
Philae Temple is one of the best preserved archaeological sites in Egypt. It belongs to the Ptolemaic era, from 332 to 30 BC. It is known as a lasting home of Isis. She is the goddess of motherhood. She is also the wife of the ruler of the Underworld. She is the mother of Horus, the god of kingship and victory. King Nectanebo I built the temple from 380 to 362 BC. Later, Ptolemy II Philadelphus added more work between 285 and 246 BC. Today, the temple is on Agilkia Island.
