Fei on the Nile come Temple【 Essays on Egypt 】

    Philae is an island located in the Nile River to the south of Aswan Dam. Originally, there was a temple on the island. In 1902, when the British built the Aswan Dam, the island of Philae was flooded, and tourists could only watch the temple gate and stone pillars emerging from the water by boat. In 1980, the Egyptian government decided to transfer the historical sites on the island to another island and restore their original features.

    There are the last hieroglyphic inscriptions and some vivid reliefs found at present in the temple of Philae, where the god of wealth, Hathor, and the god of fertility, Isis, are worshipped. It is said that the goddess Isis has 10000 names. She is not only in charge of fertility, but also the patron god of all people, so she is highly respected by the ancient Egyptians.
