Many Temples were actually constructed on Philae Island for the worship of the goddess Isis, as the island became the center of the worship of this famous god for a long period of time. The first sections of the Temple of Philae were constructed in the ruling period of Taharqa, one of the Nubian kings that ruled over parts of Egypt during the reign of the 25th dynasty in the 7th century BC.
