阿斯旺的象岛神庙

阿斯旺的象岛

在古埃及人的宗教中,Elephantine是khnum的故乡,khnum是瀑布的公羊头神,他从岛下的洞穴中统治和守卫尼罗河。 他是在这里崇拜的埃及神的晚期三合会之一。

阿布古镇位于岛的南端,曾经是一个贸易和经济中心。 该岛的名字也反映了它以前在象牙贸易中的作用,因为来自埃及南部的大篷车将货物卸到河上向北运输。 从这个法老时代的定居点,已故的Khnum寺庙和其他部分挖掘的纪念碑遍布岛屿的其余部分。

有些人认为这个岛的名字是有任何大型野生哺乳动物在它的任何地方。 但叫它这个名字的原因是它来自它南端的大型灰色花岗岩岩石,有些人认为它就像一群站在水中的大象。 该岛提供了各种各样的阿斯旺景点,使它很难错过任何尼罗河邮轮从阿斯旺到卢克索。

岛上还有神话般的阿斯旺博物馆,棕榈林复盖了努比亚的2村庄,通常接待游客和河上令人惊叹的风景。 还有一家豪华酒店,Movenpick阿斯旺,位于其北端。 大象岛可以通过一艘小船或在阿斯旺的尼罗河上乘坐felucca来接近,这可以沿着海岸租用。

大象岛的寺庙

寺庙和墓地位于岛的南端,包括女神萨特的避难所,萨特是象鼻山的保护者。 在第二王朝建立了萨特女神的避难所,寺庙在中新王国以及托勒密时代在这里重建。

关于埃斯纳的过去Khnum神庙的信息

Khnum,公羊头神,其属性包括创造,生育和尼罗河的年度洪水,在Esna被崇拜,在古代也被称为Latopolis。 在他的陶工的轮子上,Khnum被认为是用粘土塑造人类的。

Elephantine papyri是Elephantine的阿拉姆语和犹太社区的阿拉姆语记录,以及记录公元前6世纪的犹太社区,可能是雇佣军,保持独立的寺庙和多神教信仰,可能与Khnum共存。

集寺
在岛上建造的第一座寺庙是公元前3000年左右的Satet神庙;寺庙在接下来的3000年里进行了翻新和修改。
岛的南端,曾经具有战略重要性和巨大的名气,已经变成了一个主要的旅游景点和一个巨大的露天博物馆,有楼梯和小路。

Khnum神庙
在岛上还发现了Khnum神庙的废墟,Khnum是与尼罗河第一次白内障相关的殴打公羊之神。 这座寺庙的主要平台可以追溯到30th王朝,仍然是一个巨大的门户。 这三位神与Sehel岛的女神Anuket一起组成了Elephantine地区的三合会。

参观阿斯旺Elephantine上迷人的岛屿寺庙。

阿斯旺的象皮湾岛深藏在尼罗河深处,因其丰富的文化和令人叹为观止的美丽而闻名于世。 它以古老的寺庙、丰富的绿色植物和灿烂的传奇而闻名,为任何想联系和了解埃及过去的人提供旅行洗礼。

历史的重要性

Elephantine这个名字来自希腊语,意思是大象,因为它是第一个真正位于古埃及贸易和军事职位方面的好点的白内障,所以它非常重要。 它已经作为努比亚和埃及之间关于其海岸的一个哨所存在。 还有一大批真正的埃及人和努比亚人,他们拥有通往Khnum的神殿,Khnum是创造的公羊头神,也是尼罗河的源头。

这个岛上最着名的考古遗址是Khnum神庙,它可以追溯到第三王朝时期,但它很可能在新王国和希腊罗马时代的过程中经历了扩展。 今天,寺庙的遗迹可以证明古埃及人对这个神的崇拜,他们相信这个神每年都控制着尼罗河的水洗。

建筑奇迹

时光倒流,探索这座寺庙的废墟就像是在读历史书一样。 寺庙建筑群特色:

花岗岩网关和挂架,展示了古代工匠的精湛工艺。象形文字铭文和浮雕描绘仪式和祭品的场景。Nilometers是用于测量尼罗河水位的古老测量设备,突出了该岛在农业规划中的重要性。文化见解

Fatta, Mahshi, Saloufa, Bamia, Meshaltet, and Mulukhiyah are just a few of the Nubian delicacies that guests can savor at the Aswan Nubian Festival. Mahshi is rice, herb, and spice-stuffed vegetables, while Fatta is a hearty dish made with bread, rice, and meat. Sweetened with sugar, coconut, and ground rice, saloufa resembles a pancake and is typically served with powdered sugar or honey. Okra stew cooked in a tomato-based sauce and served over rice or bread is known as bambamia. Made with wheat flour, yeast, and salt and baked in a clay oven, meshaltet is a traditional Nubian bread.
