NOTES: The temple was dismantled and removed from its original location in 1963 when it was presented to the United States as a gift in recognition of their assistance in rescuing vulnerable buildings during the construction of the Aswan High Dam. Since 1978 the temple has been on permanent display in the Sackler Wing of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
