The ancient inscriptions of Sohiel Island. A
On the island of Sohiel, south of Aswan city in Egypt, there are more than 250 inscriptions incised on rocks and boulders. Most of the Hieroglyphic inscriptions date back to the Middle-kingdom and the New-kingdom, 1800-1400 B.C.
The one is displayed here dates back the reign of king Ramsess II, the 19th dynasty which about 1200-1300 B.C. The inscription is incised on a granite rock and represents king Ramsess II while presenting to his father-god, khnum and both of the goddesses Satet and Anket the Erap-wine jars. The text informs us about having one of the royal princes appointed in both of Kush and Nubia as a viceroy also it mentions the name Aye who was a royal scribe and wrote that text. .
