This ambitious project was part of the UNESCO Nubia Campaign, designed to safeguard this and other valuable complexes before the completion of the Aswan High Dam in 1970. Today, the hieroglyphic reliefs of the temple complex are being meticulously studied and documented by the Philae Temple Text Project of the Austrian Academy of Sciences in Vienna.

Abu Simbel Temple Complex
The Abu Simbel temples are a pair of monumental rock temples located near the village of Abu Simbel in Aswan Governorate, Upper Egypt, close to the Sudanese border. These temples, situated on the western bank of Lake Nasser, are approximately 230 kilometers (140 miles) southwest of Aswan or about 300 kilometers (190 miles) by road. The complex is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site known as the Nubian Monuments, extending from Abu Simbel downriver to Philae, near Aswan. These twin temples were originally carved into the mountainside during the 13th century BC, in the 19th dynasty during the reign of Pharaoh Ramesses II. They serve as a lasting monument to the king and his queen Nefertari and commemorate Ramesses II's victory at the Battle of Kadesh. The enormous external rock relief figures at Abu Simbel have become iconic symbols of ancient Egyptian art and architecture.

Valley of the Kings
The Valley of the Kings, also known as the Valley of the Gates of the Kings, is a renowned archaeological site in Egypt. For nearly 500 years, from the 16th to the 11th century BC, this valley was a hub for the excavation of rock-cut tombs. These tombs were intended to serve as the final resting places for pharaohs and powerful nobles during the New Kingdom period, spanning the Eighteenth to the Twentieth Dynasties of Ancient Egypt. Located on the west bank of the Nile, opposite the modern city of Luxor, within the Theban Necropolis, the valley is divided into two parts: the East Valley, where most royal tombs are found. The Valley of the Kings was the primary burial site for significant royal figures of the Egyptian New Kingdom and some privileged nobles. These royal tombs feature elaborate scenes from Egyptian mythology and history.

Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari
The Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut, also known as the Djeser-Djeseru ("Holy of Holies"), is an impressive mortuary temple situated in Upper Egypt. Constructed for the Eighteenth Dynasty pharaoh Hatshepsut, the temple is nestled beneath the cliffs at Deir el-Bahri, on the west bank of the Nile, in proximity to the Valley of the Kings. Dedicated to the deities Amun and Hatshepsut, this temple is adjacent to the mortuary temple of Mentuhotep II, which served as both an inspiration and later, a source of construction material. It stands as one of the "incomparable monuments of ancient Egypt." The Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw is responsible for the study and restoration of the three levels of the temple, with the first two levels nearly complete as of early 1995, while the top level was still undergoing reconstruction.

Luxor Temple is a grand ancient Egyptian temple complex located on the east bank of the Nile River, within the city known today as Luxor, the ancient Thebes. It was constructed around 1400 BCE and is referred to as "ipet resyt" in the Egyptian language, which translates to "the southern sanctuary." Luxor boasts several significant temples on both the east and west banks of the Nile. Notable examples include the Temple of Seti I at Gurnah, the Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahri, the Temple of Ramesses II (commonly known as the Ramesseum), and the Temple of Ramesses III at Medinet Habu. The Karnak and Luxor temples are the two primary cult temples on the east bank.

The Karnak Temple Complex, often referred to as Karnak, encompasses a vast array of partially ruined temples, chapels, pylons, and other structures near Luxor, Egypt. Its construction commenced during the reign of Senusret I in the Middle Kingdom and continued into the Ptolemaic period. Most of the surviving buildings, however, date from the New Kingdom. This area was known as Ipet-isut, the main place of worship for the eighteenth dynasty Theban Triad with the god Amun as its head.
