Ten (10) scarce early original vintage printed post cards show various scenes in Aswan (Assouan), Bisharins, and Phylae (Philae) Island Egypt.Aswan, a city on the Nile River, has been southern Egypt’s strategic and commercial gateway since antiquity. It contains significant archaeological sites like the Philae temple complex, on Agilkia Island near the landmark Aswan Dam. Philae’s ruins include the columned Temple of Isis, dating to the 4th century B.C. Downriver, Elephantine Island holds the Temple of Khnum, from the Third Dynasty.The Bisharins are an ethnic group inhabiting Northeast Africa. They are one of the major divisions of the Beja nomadic population. The Bishari speak the Beja language, which belongs to the Afroasiatic family.Phylae (Philae) is an island in the reservoir of the Aswan Low Dam, downstream of the Aswan Dam and Lake Nasser, Egypt. Philae was originally located near the expansive First Cataract of the Nile in Upper Egypt and was the site of an Egyptian temple complex. These rapids and the surrounding area have been variously flooded since the initial construction of the Aswan Low Dam in 1902.Post Cards measure 3 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches and are in excellent condition (see scans).
