The principal deity of the temple complex was Isis, but other temples and shrines were dedicated to her son Horus and the goddess Hathor . UNESCO had decided to move many of the endangered sites along to Nile to safer ground. Philae`s temple complex was moved, piece by piece, to Agilkai, 550 meters away, where it was reassembled and remains today. The project lasted from 1977 to 1980. |
