English transcription: The international campaign for the saving of the Nubian monuments, was launched by UNESCO in 1960. Following the construction of the Aswan high dam, the monuments of the island of PHILAE were permanently flooded to a third of their height and subject to daily fluctuations in the water level which ate away their foundations and threatened to bring them down to ruins. In May 1968, it was decided to dismantle and re-erect the monuments on the neighbouring island of AGILKIA which is sufficiently elevated to be above the maximum water level. This Project has been financed by both the Egyptian Government and the international community alerted by UNESCO. Work in progress on the temple of Isis on its new site at Agilkia.

English transcription: The International Campaign for the saving of the Nubian monuments was launched by UNESCO in 1960. Famed for its monuments, the island of Philae in the River Nile has been submerged nine months out of twelve since the first Aswan dam. The construction of the High Dam above the island has worsened the situation; not only are the monuments permanently flooded to a third of their height, but they are subject to daily fluctuations in the water level which eat away their foundations and threaten to bring them down to ruins. In May 1968, the Campaign's Executive Committee endorsed the decision taken by the U.A.R. to dismantle and re-erect the monuments on the neighbouring island of Agilkia which is sufficiently elevated to be above the maximum level of the water. Here, the colonnade of Trajan's Pavilion which was raised by the Romans in the 1st and 2nd centuries A.D.
