PHILAE, THE LAST TEMPLES OF ANCIENT EGYPT

The last stronghold of the ancient Egyptian religion

Synopsis

Today, in Egypt, the temples of Philae stand out as one of the most iconic attractions of the Ptolemaic era. Philae was the last stronghold of the ancient Egyptian religion.

But the island of Philae was submerged, and it became the subject of an unusual and titanic archaeological rescue operation. The sanctuary was dismantled piece by piece and rebuilt exactly as it was before on another island.
