I could have written "the temples of Philae" as there are in fact several. The monuments were built on the island over 600 years! The principle temple is dedicated to Isis. She is the goddess who protects women and children. It is the largest temple entirely dedicated to her in all of Egypt. It is also the last temple to remain open 5 centuries after the birth of chrisianity.
