The obelisk and the broader quarry were added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1979, along with other examples of Upper Egyptian architecture, as part of the “Nubian Monuments from Abu Simbel to Philae” (despite the quarry site being neither Nubian nor located between Abu Simbel and Philae).
- Aswan High Dam - The Aswan Dam, also known as the Aswan High Dam, ranks among the world’s largest embankment dams, constructed across the Nile in Aswan, Egypt, from 1960 to 1970. Upon completion, it became the tallest earthen dam globally, surpassing the Chatuge Dam in the United States. The dam, which formed the Lake Nasser reservoir, was built 7 km (4.3 mi) upstream of the Aswan Low Dam, which had reached its maximum capacity since its completion in 1902. Building the High Dam was a major goal of the military regime that assumed power after the 1952 Egyptian Revolution. With its enhanced ability to control flooding, provide increased water storage for irrigation, and generate hydroelectric power, the dam was considered crucial to Egypt’s planned industrialization. Like its predecessor, the High Dam has significantly impacted Egypt’s economy and culture.
