Elephantine, Elephantine Island, Geziret Aswan Island
Egypt, Aswan
Elephantine Island is now the western part of Aswan. He received his ancient Greek name from the literal translation from the Egyptian "Abu" - "elephant, ivory." Previously, there was a city on this site, which in the time of Ancient Egypt was the border with Nubia and was a major trading center. In the 20th century, archaeologists discovered many buildings and artifacts from the Middle Kingdom.
