About
New Amada, located near Aswan in Egypt, is a prominent archaeological site that houses several relocated Nubian temples and structures. These ancient structures were moved to New Amada during the International Campaign to Save the Monuments of Nubia to protect them from the rising waters caused by the Aswan High Dam. The site features the Temple of Amada, originally built by Pharaoh Thutmose III, which is the oldest Egyptian temple in Nubia. It also includes the rock-cut Temple of Derr, constructed under Ramesses II, and the Tomb of Pennut, a deputy of Lower Nubia. These structures offer insights into ancient Egyptian religious practices, architectural advancements, and the historical significance of Nubia as a cultural crossroads.
