This is the second half of the set issued in 1962 (SG 760-1). Both stamps show a detail of the Isis of Kalabsha Temple.
I collect stamps and FDCs mainly showing Nubian Monuments, Ramses II and the famous bust of Queen Nefertiti. This is my collection - I hope you will enjoy it.

The temple was originally built at Talmis and was moved to Chellal in 1970 as part of the UNESCO Campaign. It was built in sandstone blocks at the time of the Roman emperor Octavius Augustus (30 to 14 BC).
It was dedicated to the Nubian god Mandoulis, identified with the Egyptian Horus.
