In the center of the Nile, in the charming town of Aswan, is the Temple of Philae, one of the most ancient temples in Egypt, which tells the story of an ancient civilization in one of the monuments of Nubian history that were saved from falling after the construction of the Great Dam.
Philae Temple
Aswan's Philae Temple is a must-see destination in Egypt, located on Philae Island between the old and high dams in Aswan. The name "Pilak" originates from the word denoting a remote location or the end of the boundary with Nubia. In 1979, UNESCO relocated the temple to another island to prevent it from being submerged under the Nile, a complex process that aimed to preserve the temple's original form.
Philae island was dedicated to the goddess Isis during the Ptolemaic dynasty and was a significant center for the worship of the goddess Isis. The temple continued to be a place of worship until the end of the reign of Justinian I (527–565 CE), when it was transformed into a church. Throughout the years, the temple encountered challenges such as partial flooding and salt damage to its ornate paintings. In 1970, a decision was made to transfer the temple to the safer and higher island of Agilika. Due to its close proximity to the Nile River, the Philae temple remains a popular attraction for tourists on Nile cruise tours between Luxor and Aswan.
Isis, the goddess, held great significance in ancient Egypt and her impact reached as far as the Roman Empire. She was linked to the healing of the ill and the revival of the deceased, earning her a revered status among Egyptian women. The pyramid texts often mention her as she offers assistance to the departed king.
