| Sublime flotsam and jetsam, Lake Nasser |
THE CRUISEBOAT stopped along the way at clusters of temples that had been rescued and rebuilt on higher ground at the time of the construction of the new Aswan High Dam.
The rescued structures now sat like sublime flotsam and jetsam washed up high on the shores of the lake.
Kalabsha, Kiosk of Qertassi, Beit al-Wali, Wadi es Sebua, Dakka, Maharraqa, Qasr Ibrim, Derr, Amada...
(From "The Ibis Apocalypse" - a cruise on Lake Nasser with renegade Egyptologist Anson Hunter in the company of a mysterious female Mossad agent.)
