Philae Egypt Page One-Agilkia
In the 20th Century the island of Philae was flooded by the Low Dam. The High Dam would completely submerge the island when it would be completed. The temples on the island were therefor completely dismanteled and moved Between 1972-1980 AD to the island of Agilika. Tradition said that it was from Philae (Pilak in Egyptian) that Isis watched over the tomb of Osiris on the neighboring island of Biga. The Temple Of Isis and Horus The Child dominated the group of monuments erected between the 26th Dynasty and the Roman Period.
