Aswan - Temple of Isis

Located on the island of Philae, two great pylons lead into the temple proper. They are carved with the traditional scenes of the Ptolemaic kings, attacking the enemy of the first Pylon, on the second pylon making offerings to Isis, Horus and Hathor. The walls of the pronaos are likewise covered with scenes of the Ptolemaic kings and Roman emperors in pharonic guise, performing the customary ceremonies. Later when this became a church, early christians added their crosses to the stones.
