Early Christians then reused the main temple on the island as a church and removed a large number of scenes of the gods of ancient Egypt.

Philae Temple, dedicated to the goddess Isis, has a rich history. It was originally located on Philae Island in the Nile River but was relocated due to the construction of the Aswan High Dam.
