Summary
[edit]| Description |
Visitors may only gaze upon Qasr Ibrim (Qasr is Arabic for "fort" so its name means Fort of Ibrim) from a Lake Nasser Cruise boat, as it is no longer accessible to tourists. The site dates to about 1000 BC. The site which was so high above the Nile was recognized for its strategic importance early on and in fact there were fights for its possession throughout the centuries. The earliest religious building remaining on the site was a temple constructed during the reign of King Taharqo. Qasr Ibrim prospered in the years following the Nubian raids and several new temples were built. These temples gained a reputation as healing centers and were often visited by those seeking cures. Egyptian gods continued to be worshipped long after Christianity had taken root and become the official religion of the Roman Empire. |
