Info Temple of Debod at dusk, Parque de la Montaña, Madrid, Spain. The shrine was originally erected 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) south of Aswan in Nubia, very close to the first cataract of the Nile and to the great religious centre in Philae dedicated to the goddess Isis. In the early 2nd century BC, Adikhalamani (Tabriqo), the Kushite king of Meroë, started its construction by building a small single-room chapel dedicated to the god Amun. Later, during the reigns of Ptolemy VI, Ptolemy VIII, and Ptolemy XII, it was extended on all four sides. In 1960, due to the construction of the Aswan High Dam and the consequent threat posed by its reservoir to numerous monuments and archeological sites, UNESCO made an international call to save this rich historical legacy. As a sign of gratitude for the help provided by Spain in saving the Abu Simbel temples, the Egyptian state donated the Temple of Debod to Spain in 1968, an activity of the International Campaign to Save the Monuments of Nubia. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 20:56, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
