EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Ethel Davies in 1984, showcases the Temple of Isis on the island of Philae in Egypt. Dating back to around 700 BC, this ancient temple is dedicated to the revered Egyptian goddess Isis, who was worshipped as the mother goddess and the goddess of magic, fertility, and healing. The Temple of Isis, a significant religious site, was originally located on the banks of the Nile River in Upper Egypt, near the city of Aswan. However, with the creation of Lake Nasser in the 1960s, the temple was carefully dismantled, and its stones were relocated to the nearby Agilkia Island. This preservation effort ensured the survival of this magnificent architectural and historical treasure. The image, captured in the vibrant colors of the 1980s, showcases the Temple of Isis in its new location. The intricate carvings and hieroglyphics adorning the temple walls are a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of ancient Egypt. The serene waters of the lake reflect the temple's grandeur, creating a striking contrast between the ancient and the modern worlds. Ethel Davies, a skilled photographer, expertly captured the essence of this ancient temple, allowing us to appreciate its beauty and historical significance through her lens. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the enduring power of ancient Egyptian civilization and the importance of preserving our cultural heritage for future generations.
