- W4315697513 abstract "To most modern visitors the Island of Elephantine is famous through the circumstance that stood the celebrated construction known as the Nilometer, one of several, however, erected by the ingenious Egyptians for measuring the exact height of the river. As the amount of taxation to be borne by the people has always depended upon the height of the inundation, attempts were formerly made by the governors of Egypt to prove to the people that never was a low level. But the Island of Elephantine is interesting for many other things than its Nilometer. The entire southern part is covered with great mounds of rubbish formed by the ancient ruins of the earliest town of Elephantine. To Elephantine Island the Egyptians were in the habit of resorting for the purpose of offering up prayer to particular gods, those mostly worshipped being Khnemu, Sati and Sept." @default.
