New Kalabsha, Egypt: Hathor Columns, Kiosk of Kertassi
Country: Egypt
Location: New Kalabsha
Region: South of Aswan, on artificial island in Lake Nasser (Nubia)
Area: Kiosk of Kertassi (or Qertassi)
Material: Limestone
Description: Two Hathor columns from the Kiosk of Kertassi. Exact age and function of the Kiosk are unclear—likely early Roman and associated with an unpreserved smaller temple. The Kiosk (composed of four surviving papyrus columns and two Hathor columns at the entrance) was relocated to the Isalnd of New Kalabsha in the 1970s in anticipation of the flooding from the High Aswan Dam.
