The Temple of Isis at Philae, Egypt, 20th century. The temple dedicated to Isis on the island of Philae was built in the Ptolemaic period. It was the last remaining outpost of the Ancient Egyptian religion when the Eastern Roman Emperor Justinian closed it down in c550. After damage caused by flooding after the construction of the Aswan Dam, the temple complex was moved, piece by piece, to the nearby island of Agilkai in 1977-1980.
