Later in the morning

Le 29 au soir, nous étions à Eléthya (El-Kab); je parcourus l’enceinte et les ruines, la lanterne à la main; mais je ne trouvai plus rien: les restes des deux temples avaient disparu; on les a aussi démolis il y a peu de temps pour réparer le quai d’Esné ou quelque autre construction récente. Avais-je tort de me presser de venir en Égypte? Champollion visiting El-Kab in 1828, to find its 2 temples recently destroyed to reinforce the banks of the Nile in Esna. Decrying: “Didn’t i say i had to hurry to come to Egypt.” (almost 200 years ago!)
