EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Philae, Egypt, 1984" by Ethel Davies, transports us back to the enchanting Temple of Isis on the island of Philae, Egypt. Dating back to around 700 BC, this ancient temple is dedicated to the revered Egyptian goddess Isis, a central figure in the religious beliefs of the ancient Egyptian civilization. The image captures the Temple of Isis in all its glory, bathed in the warm sunlight of the 1980s. However, the serene scene is juxtaposed with the ominous presence of the nearby cavern, a stark reminder of the geographical changes that have taken place in this region. The creation of Lake Nasser in the late 1960s necessitated the relocation of the temple to its current location, near Aswan, to save it from being submerged underwater. The intricately carved columns and pillars of the temple stand tall against the backdrop of the vast, sunlit landscape. The sun casts long, dramatic shadows on the temple's walls, adding depth and dimension to the image. The Temple of Isis, with its rich history and religious significance, is a testament to the enduring allure of ancient Egypt and its connection to the solar system and astronomy. Ethel Davies, a skilled photographer, expertly captures the essence of this unique location, offering us a glimpse into the past and the present. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the passage of time and the importance of preserving our cultural heritage for future generations.
