The Great Temple of Ramses II (Ramses the Great, ruled 1279-1213 BC) at Abu Simbel, located some 860 km (534 mi.) south of Cairo on the shore of Lake Nasser in Aswan Governorate, Egypt. The temple, and the adjacent Temple of Hathor, was constructed during Ramses II's reign on the true left bank of the Nile. Over time the temples were nearly buried in sand. In March, 1813, the Swiss geographer Johann Ludwig Burckhardt discovered the upper portion of the Great Temple extending above the sand and told the Italian explorer Giovanni Battista Belzoni of his find. In 1817 Belzoni succedded in entering the temple. By the turn of the century both temples had been fully excavated. The site faced permanent inundation due to construction of the Aswan High Dam between 1960 and 1970 some 280 km (174 mi.) downstream and UNESCO undertook to move the monuments to higher ground. Between 1964 and 1968 they were dismantled, with each piece numbered, and then reassembled some 65 m (213 ft.) higher. An artificial mountain with the contours of the original location was built and the temples were oriented exactly as they had been, thus replicating the original site. The temples at Abu Simble are included in the UNESCO World Heritage Site inscribed in 1979 as Nubian Monuments from Abu Simbel to Philae.
The story of the following photos goes like this. We were all relaxing on the deck of our ship, tanning in the harsh Egyptian sun, when we hear some yelling, and see a whole collection of these boats coming towards us while we were waiting to pass through the loch. These men had absolutely no reservations about hooking on to our still moving boat, and they were obviously seasoned professionals! It was quite thrilling to witness this, being that I had never experienced it before. They all collected around our ship once they realized we were willing to purchase items, and began throwing things up on deck for us to look at. We could then haggle with them over the price, and they would throw another item up for us to put money in (they were in plastic bags), to throw back down. It was quite a fascinating experience! The following portraits are of these amazing men who make their living on the magical waters of the Nile.
