The Temple of Osiris Philae or the Temple of Isis was built around 280 BC during the reign of Ptolemy II. The "Greek-Roman Era of Egypt" was dedicated to Osiris Horus and Isis. The decorations date back to the Ptolemy period. Later Roman Emperors Augustus and Hadrian added a western gateway to the temple complex and smaller temples dedicated to Egyptian gods such as the Temple of Osiris Horus the Temple of Imhotep and the Temple of Hathor and Nephthys.
The obelisk in front of the temple was removed in 1918 by the British Consul. The temple was at risk of permanent submersion due to the construction of the new Aswan Dam which flooded the area. The Egyptian government and UNESCO worked together to pump water out of the area and move the entire temple 50,000 blocks at a time to the nearby island of Agilka, where the temple is now located.
