Lake Nasser Cruise Second Stop

Our NEXT stop in our cruise of Lake Nasser is the Kiosk of Kertassi. These famous six columns (two Hathor Papyrus at entrance, 4 slender Romanesque columns left standing) were probably built at the same time as the more famous Kiosk next to the temple at Philae. It was a small temple and kiosk suggesting that it was a station on a processional route by priests displaying Isis around Nubia.
