STONE WRONG-SIDE UP IN EGYPTIAN TEMPLE! WHERE IS IT?

When they moved this temple and reassembled it they placed this temple stone upside down.

Anson Hunter, renegade Egyptologist in my action adventure trilogy isn't the only one who has turned ancient Egypt upside down.

This stone appears inset in a column inside Philae Temple.

As in the case of the temple of Abu Simbel, the rising waters of Lake Nasser threatened Philae too, so the rescuers chose a substitute, the nearby island of Agilqiyyah, which they bulldozed to match the exact shape of Philae. Then they moved the whole thing stone by stone. Somehow, they also succeeded in transporting its mystery to the new location in spite of one upside down stone!

WHERE IS THIS GODDESS IN EGYPT? ANSWER

ANSWER TO PREVIOUS POST. The location of the goddess

is Philae - on a free-standing wall at the back 

of the temple. 

The photographer, my wife Brenda, caught this liminal moment when the sacred and the shadows of Egypt touched.

 

 

The goddess is everywhere of course, defiantly visible even after attacks by zealots over the years, her form in profile, revealed in serpent-like curves of shadow and stone.
