Aswan (English pronunciation: /ˌæsˈwɑːn/; Egyptian Arabic: أسوان Aswān [ʔɑsˈwɑːn]; Ancient Egyptian: Swenett; Coptic: ⲥⲟⲩⲁⲛ Souan; Ancient Greek: Συήνη Syene), formerly spelled Assuan, is a city in the south of Egypt, the capital of the Aswan Governorate.
Aswan is a busy market and tourist centre located just north of the Aswan Dams on the east bank of the Nile at the first cataract. The modern city has expanded and includes the formerly separate community on the island of Elephantine.
Aswan is the ancient city of Swenett, which in antiquity was the frontier town of Ancient Egypt facing the south. Swenett is supposed to have derived its name from an Egyptian goddess with the same name. This goddess later was identified as Eileithyia by the Greeks and Lucina by the Romans during their occupation of Ancient Egypt because of the similar association of their goddesses with childbirth, and of which the import is "the opener". The ancient name of the city also is said to be derived from the Egyptian symbol for trade, or market.
Travel video about destination Aswan in Egypt. From a distance Aswan appears to be a small, rather idyllic and sleepy city but around two hundred and eighty thousand people live on Egypt’s southern border. It is impossible not to be captivated by the pulsating life of the mysterious and strange streets of Aswan. Even today the colourful displays of goods in the souks are dominated by the historical South African caravan trade. The city is well known for its traditional bazaars. Depending on the time of day, everyday life is relatively calm and interrupted only by the hectic hustle and bustle of the traders. Aswan is synonymous with immense dams. In 1902 the first dam on the Nile was completed by the British. The Soviet Union sponsored the construction of an even larger dam. In 1971 the Sa...
Aswan High Dam is an embankment dam situated across the Nile River in Aswan, Egypt. Since the 1950s, the name commonly refers to the High Dam. Construction of the High Dam became a key objective of the Egyptian Government following the Egyptian Revolution of 1952, as the ability to control floods, provide water for irrigation, and generate hydroelectricity were seen as pivotal to Egypt's industrialization. The High Dam was constructed between 1960 and 1970, and had a significant impact on the economy and culture of Egypt. http://largest-dams-1.blogspot.com

http://khemitology.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/April-2016-Techno-Spiritual-IV-Tour-itinerary.pdf Although most academics believe that the dynastic Egyptians effectively worked hard stone such as granite and basalt with simple copper, bronze and stone tools, this video reveals otherwise. There are 2 unfinished obelisks in the quarry at Aswan, for example that could not have been shaped with simple tools such as those listed above. They must have been the work of a much older culture with Lost Ancient High Technology...

Egyptian lands hosted the oldest civilizations thousands of years ago. This civilization continues to fascinate scientists as they still are unable to unravel some of the civilization's most powerful secrets in different sciences such as architecture and medicine. Luxor and Aswan are the richest places in the world when it comes to monuments left by the Pharaohs. But ancient history isn't the only thing that makes those two cities a must-visit. The activities you could do by river nile, the unparalleled hospitality and kindness of its people will leave you speechless on your way back to your country. Watch this short 4 minute video as it takes you through some of the most beautiful places in those two cities. A decision to pay them a visit will be one you will not regret. :)
Ooo yeah
Baby baby
I ease the pain
Could see us in our holy faith
But one day we changed I
Dreamed from big in a face
I'm already so tired to carry water open for the other side
Me I don't know but every time I look up I'm waiting for the sky to cry
Maybe be like water falling down from heaven's high
Until we start a wave ow now then make the oceans rise
Cause I don't wanna waste another moment swimming in the shadow wave
So now it's time for you and I to take another wave
Before we dive into the deep end deep end
Before we dive into the deep end deep end
Before we dive into the deep
I wanna learn to live and stop panicking
I don't want us sit like 2 mannequins
I'm already so tired to carry water open for the other side
Me I don't know but every time I look up I'm waiting for the sky to cry
Why can't we just
Maybe be like water falling down from heaven's high
Until we start a wave ow now then make the oceans rise
Cause I don't wanna I don't wanna
Cause I don't wanna spend another moment swimming in the shadow wave
So now it's time for you and I to take another wave
Before we dive into the deep end deep end
Before we dive into the deep end deep end
Before we dive into the deep
Breathing breathing
Breathing breathing
Breathing breathing
Before we dive into the deep end
Breathing breathing
Breathing breathing
Breathing breathing
Be like water falling down from heaven's high (heaven's high heaven's high)
Until we start a wave ow now then make the oceans rise
Cause I don't wanna I don't wanna
Cause I don't wanna spend another moment swimming in the shadow wave
So now it's time for you and I to take another wave
Before we dive into the deep end deep end
Before we dive into the deep end deep end
