Nilometer, (Elephantine Island, Aswan, Egypt)

Nilometer on the island of Elephantine in Aswan Egypt, where a stairway of 52 steps leads down to a doorway at the Nile. This location was important for Egyptian history, as Elephantine marked Egypt's southern border and was the first place where the onset of the annual flood was detected. (Original Work, Nikon)
