The Ancient Egyptians were obsessed with their gods. They had 42 of them, and often their duties overlapped each other. They knew life on earth was short so they became obsessed over their after life.

The Temple of Isis was relocated to a small island in the Nile River to escape the rising water from the Aswan Dam. It is not as heavily carved or painted as some, but is unique in its own way. Isis was always depicted as a beautiful, tall, slender woman in a sheath dress with an abundance of curves, and usually with a head dress of bull horns with a moon disc. She was the goddess of protection, beauty, healing, magic, and the moon.

Here are a few posts from the ancient temple ruins. Please enjoy the downloads.

I really like that you include people in some of your scenes . . . . .
It gives a sense of how very large these items are, as the closeups reveal how detailed these works of art are.
Thanks for sharing and . . .
Best Wishes,

Excellent!
Now you make me green but after that incident where tourists were beheaded Egypt is very low in my list of countries to visit.
