Philae Temple
For over 50 years the Island of Philae and its monuments lay half-submerged in water built up by the Aswan Dam and barrages during annual inundations, until the UNESCO rescue operations for the Nubian monuments in the 1960s. The temples have now been completely dismantled and rebuilt to the original orientation on the nearby island of Agilika which rises higher from the water and has been reshaped and landscaped to resemble the original Philae.
The surviving monuments of Philae have been built through several dynasties and were re-used by the early Christians until the temple was finally closed by the Emperor Justinian in 550AD. The main temple is dedicated to Isis and was the centre of the cult of Isis and Hathor during the Roman Period. It was the last pagan temple in use in Egypt.

Beagle Channel
O Canal Beagle é um estreito que separa as ilhas do Arquipélado da Tierra del Fuego, no extremo meridional da América do Sul.
Deve o seu nome ao navio HMS Beagle, que transportou Charles Darwin na sua famosa viagem, enquanto naturalista amador.
Todas as fotos foram tiradas em território da Argentina.
The Beagle Channel is a strait separating islands of the Tierra del Fuego Archipelago, in extreme southern South America.
It got its name after the ship HMS Beagle where Charles Darwin made his famous voyage as an amateur naturalist.
