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.
Aswan's Philae Temple
One of the most significant locations to visit and the best things to do in Egypt is Philae Island, which is situated between the old and high dams in Aswan. The word "Pilak," which denotes a remote location or the end of the boundary with Nubia, is the source of the name. In order to avoid the risk of being submerged under the Nile, the UNESCO organization moved the temple to another island in 1979. The relocation involved a very intricate process to replicate the temple's original shape.
Philae island was consecrated to the goddess Isis during the Ptolemaic dynasty and served as a focal point for the worship of the goddess Isis. The temple thrived as a place of worship until the end of the reign of Justinian I (527–565 CE), at which point it was converted into a church. Over time, the temple faced issues such as partial flooding and salt damage to its decorative paintings. In 1970, a decision was made to relocate the temple to the safer and higher island of Agilika. Due to its proximity to the Nile River, Philae temple remains one of the most popular stops for tourists on Nile cruise tours between Luxor and Aswan.
The goddess Isis
The deity Isis was highly revered in ancient Egypt, and her influence extended into the Roman Empire. She was associated with healing the sick and resurrecting the dead, making her a revered figure for Egyptian women. The pyramid texts frequently reference her as she provides aid to the deceased king.
