The joint Egyptian-French archaeological mission between the Supreme Council of Antiquities, represented by the Department of Underwater Antiquities, and the University of Paul Valéry Montpellier, headed by Dr. Chris Crasion from the French side, discovered a number of paintings, inscriptions and miniatures of the kings of Amenhotep III, Thutmose IV, Psamtik II and Apries, during the implementation of the archaeological photographic survey project, for the first time, under the waters of the Nile in Aswan to study the rock inscriptions located between the Aswan Reservoir and the High Dam, which were discovered in the sixties of the last century during the campaign to save the Nubian monuments for the construction of the High Dam and had not been studied before.

This was stated by Dr. Mohamed Ismail Khaled, Secretary-General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, indicating that the mission began its first season of work in the area around the original islands of Philae and Konossos, and since these inscriptions are still in a good state of preservation, the mission was able to fully document the texts.
