Isis Temple at Isis island

This island countains many temples of old Egyptian gods but Isis Temple is the most famous one 

there 

When I say ( Isis ) of course you will think about the old famouse story of Isis and her 

Husband Osiris and their son Houras  

The story Tell us ( The god of earth GEB and the goddess of sky NUT got married and had kids names Seth , Neftis , Isis and Osiris

Isis and Osiris got married after this and was honored and beloved from all Egyptians which made Seth very jelous of his brother , so he decided to kill him and cut his body into piceces and through those piceces all over Egypt , and he did it 

When Isis knew it she was so sad and angry and always cry , so she traveled all over Egypt to collect her husband's body and bring him back to life 

She finally made it after long time and got a baby named ( Houras ) . She loved him alot and decided to save him from his bad uncle 

This Story is so famouse in Egypt and all the world , and Isis was holy for old Egyptians because she was the strong wife and the holy goddess who had a great magic powers

so they build temples for her

One of the best places for me also is the High dam of Aswan as i call it The symbole of Egyptian Energy and Egyptians loyality
Many many builder died during digging and building it , that's the reason of our pride
Before the High Dam was built, even with the old dam in place, the annual flooding of the nile during late summer had continued to pass largely unimpeded down the valley from its East African drainage basin. These floods brought high water with natural nutrients and minerals that annually enriched the fertile soil along its floodplain and delta , this predictability had made the Nile valley ideal for farming since ancient times. However, this natural flooding varied, since high-water years could destroy the whole crop, while low-water years could create widespread drought and associated famine. Both these events had continued to occur periodically. As Egypt's population grew and technology increased, both a desire and the ability developed to completely control the flooding, and thus both protect and support Farmland and its economically important cotton crop. With the greatly increased reservoir storage provided by the High Aswan Dam, the floods could be controlled and the water could be stored for later release over multiple years.
