What is in the white building http://www.touregypt.net/featurestories/aboat.htm

Transportation and trade were not the only reasons for seaworthy boats to be built in ancient Egypt. The pharaohs also recognized the need for a powerful navy, as is evidenced in this account written by Ramses III to Amen:
I built you ships, freight ships, arched ships with rigging, plying the Big Green (the sea). I manned them with archers, captains and innumerable sailors, to bring the goods of the Land of Tyre and the foreign countries at the end of the world to your storage rooms at Thebes the Victorious.
Many pharaohs achieved incredible feats with their fleets, such as Queen Hatshepsut’s voyage to Punt, but from the 20th dynasty

Gebel el-Silsila

These tombs are between Comombo And Esna
Taken from wikipedia,

Gebel el-Silsila is 65 km north of Aswan, where the cliffs on both sides of the Nile narrow. The name Kheny (or sometimes Khenu) means "The Place of Rowing". It was used as a quarry site from at least the 18th Dynasty to Greco-Roman times.

On the west bank is a rock cut shrines for Horemheb, Seti I, Ramesses II and Merenptah.

Many of the talatats used by Akhenaten were quarried from here, and used in buildings at Luxor and Amarna. Akhenaten's sculptor Bek oversaw the opening of a stone quarry here.

This is the pylon in Edfu Temple most Temples have two some have three,
also a few of the pylons have been demolished some say the temple of Pharaoh Amenhotep III.
was destroyed by the Pharaos others say by earthquake. most of the stones from the Gebel el-Silsila where used to construct other buildings. but originaly sat inside these huge pylons the smallest is 100 ft high
