Temple Gate of Kalabsha

Temple Gate of Kalabscha, graphics from the 3D model The monumental entrance to the new fourth wing of the Pergamonmuseum will be formed by an old Egyptian temple gate. The Kalabscha Gate (currently still on exhibit in Berlin-Charlottenburg) was given to the Federal Republic of Germany in 1971 by the Arab Republic of Egypt out of gratitude for Germany's participation in the rescue of the Nubian temple threatened by the Assuan Dam. The individual blocks of the gate were found as reused building material in the foundation of the Temple of Kalabscha relocated by the Nubian campaign. According to the hieroglyphic inscriptions, Pharaoh, who in the relief pictures of the gate is performing a ritual before the old Egyptian gods, is the Roman Emperor Augustus. Thus this gate is also a monument to an ancient east-west dialogue.
