NOTES: The temple was moved to just south of the Aswan High Dam at New Kalabsha to avoid the rising waters of Lake Nasser in 1970. Spiers exhibited a drawing at the Royal Academy of Arts, London, in 1869 entitled 'Temple of Kalabshee, Nubia' (no. 998). It is possible that this is the exhibited drawing.
