Egypt--Aswan Dam
Map of the Island of Philae, submerged due to the completion of the Aswan Low Dam (Assouan Dam) - 1906. The Philae temple complex (/ˈfaɪliː/; Ancient Greek: Φιλαί or Φιλή and Πιλάχ, Arabic: فيلة Egyptian Arabic: [fiːlæ], Egyptian: p3-jw-rķ' or 'pA-jw-rq; Coptic: ⲡⲓⲗⲁⲕ, ⲡⲓⲗⲁⲕϩ,[ Coptic pronunciation: [ˈpilɑk, ˈpilɑkh]) is an island-based temple complex in the reservoir of the Aswan Low Dam, downstream of the Aswan Dam and Lake Nasser, Egypt in Africa. Originally, the temple complex was located on Philae Island, near the expansive First Cataract of the Nile in Upper Egypt. These rapids and the surrounding area have been variously flooded since the initial construction of the Aswan Low Dam in 1902. With the construction of the modern dam in Aswan (1960–1970) a few kilometers upstream, this temple was going to face total flooding and was initially omitted from the Nubia Campaign project to rescue all temples in the area and avoid what had previously happened with the Aswan Low Dam and the Temple of Philae. However, the importance of the monumental complex, formerly known as the Pearl of the Nile, remembered for the description by Pierre Loti in his literary work Mort de Philae, led to further commitment from UNESCO member countries, which launched an international competition to save the monuments of Philae.
A map of Ireland, based on the cartography of John Speed, English cartographer and historian (1551/2-1629), from the first edition of his BRITANNIA: Or, a GEOGRAPHICAL DESCRIPTION of the KINGDOMS of England, Scotland, and Ireland, with the Isles and Territories thereto belonging (Printed by Thomas Roycroft for the Undertaker, Richard Blome, 1673). At the lower left of the plate, the title of the map is inscribed within a strapwork cartouche A MAPP OF THE KINGDOME OF IRELAND BY RIC BLOME BY HIS MATYS COM. At the left edge of the plate, four cartouches contain the crests of four noblemen including: Richard Boyle, Earl of Burlington; Sir Robert Ridgeway; the Right Hon. Richard Earl of Arran; John Lord Baron of Kingston, as well as dedications to them from Blome. The borders and seacoasts of the four provinces of Ulster, Leinster, Munster, and Connacht are outlined in hand-colour, and the provinces are further divided into their constituent counties. At the right edge of the plate are the Isle of Anglesey and the Isle of Man and parts of the Scottish and Welsh coastlines; vignettes of a compass rose and two galleons decorate the area of the Irish Sea.
