The Barrington Atlas Directory notes: Tafa. The Temple of Taffeh was built following the Roman conquest of Nubia. Following the Aswan High Dam project in the twentieth century, the temple was gifted to The Netherlands. The temple was relocated in 1979 to the National Museum of Antiquities (Rijksmuseum van Oudheden) in Leiden.
