Sehel Island

Sehel Island (Ancient Greek: Σῆτις)[1] is located in the Nile, about 2 miles (3.2 km) southwest of Aswan in southern Egypt.

It is a large island, and is roughly halfway between the city and the upstream Aswan Low Dam.

The island was known in ancient tiles as Setet,[5] and there are many archaeological sites, including sacred places, such as the temple of Anuket, the Egyptian water goddess, and goddess of the Nile's cataracts.

These inscriptions were usually left by travellers marking either the start or end of their journey to Nubia.

One is the Famine Stela, which is of Greco-Roman origin, but claims to record events from the time of Djoser and Imhotep.
