Philae Temple Facts

The pharaohs built the Philae Temple in the early 4th century BC; the Ptolemies and Romans added to it, and the first Christians added to it in the 3rd century AD. It bears the characteristics of all three civilizations.

The temple also contains texts written in both Demotic and Hieroglyphic scripts, which were written in 480 AD and 394 AD, respectively.

When you go through all of these manuscripts, unlocking the mysteries of history, you will be astounded. That is how to live the charm of history with the assistance of Golavita’s tour guide. 

In 700 BC, the Nubian King Taharqa, also known as "Family 25," erected the first dwelling on the island for "Isis." Next, King "Nectanebo" constructed a second cabin.

Then, you find blocks of stone written with the names of "Basmatik II" and "Ahmose II" have been discovered. Temples, shrines, gates, and other structures dedicated to this goddess have been built throughout history, a testament to her popularity and strength.Then, you find blocks of stone written with the names of "Basmatik II" and "Ahmose II" have been discovered.

Egyptian beliefs were dominant in the Greek and Roman periods. Thus, the worship of the god Isis spread from Egypt to Greece, Rome, and other areas of the empire.

Even during the time of Roman administration in Egypt, the rulers made an effort to enhance the Holy Island. The worship on the island lasted until the fourth century AD. Tiberius and others erected monuments and inscriptions, and Claudius, Trajan, Hadrian, and Diocletian constructed additional structures.

The Philea Temple Location

This holy land was sunk by flood waters until all this historical spot was dismantled into parts and transported to Agelica Island, which received all this historical greatness and that glorious history on its land.
