PHILAE ISLAND - THE LAST ANCIENT EGYPTIAN TEMPLE! ASWAN EGYPT

Let's explore one of the most charming ancient sites - Philae Island, located at the first cataract in Aswan. A great number of still standing ancient temples date back to the Greco-Roman period, in particular to the Ptolemaic dynasty (305 to 30 BC). The Great Temple of Isis, initiated by Ptolemy II Philadelphus, is widely known as the last functioning ancient Egyptian temple as it was closed only in the 6th century AD.

From the very beginning the island was dedicated to ,,the mother of all gods’’ - Isis, sister-wife of the god of fertility and the King of the Afterlife - Osiris. According to Egyptian mythology, their son, Horus, saved humanity from evil Seth. Let’s get to know more about this story and about Isis, once the most important goddess in Egypt.

Come with me and get inside ancient Egyptian temples: the temple of Isis, the temple of Hathor, and the Kiosk of Trajan.
Let’s get to know more about the ancient history, beliefs, and architecture of this wonderful place!
