Sehel Island
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sehel Island is located just to the south of Aswan. Here there are many inscriptions in the granite boulders. These enscriptions were usually left by travellers marking either the start or end of their journey to Nubia.
There are several famous inscriptions that record historical events, such as the Famine Stela, which is of Greco-Roman origin, but claims to record events from the time of Djoser and Imhotep.
