Philea Temple ( Isis Temple )

Philea Temple ( Isis Temple )

Philae’s significance is entwined in Egyptian mythology and specifically the story of #Isis, Osirus, and #Horus. Osirus was murdered by his brother, but he was resurrected by his wife, Isis. According to the myth, Osirus and Isis were able to conceive their son, Horus, while Isis was alive but after Osirus was dead. #Osirus  became the god of the afterlife and the underworld, and Isis was recognized as the goddess who helped people transition through death and into the afterlife—just as she helped her husband. Their son Horus became the Egyptian god of the sun, war, kings, and truth—establishing himself as one of the most important Egyptian gods. Although Egyptians believed Osirus was buried on the island (a symbolic tomb was discovered in 2015 in #Luxor), Philae was one of the first major temples to be constructed and dedicated to Isis.
