The building began during the reign of
King Ptolemy II, and then other Ptolemaic
King(Ptolemy’sIV, V, VI, VII and XI) contributed by adding more parts to the main
Temple.
The oldest remains, of the
Temple of

, date back to the reign of
King Taharqa
(25th Dynasty), who built the first chapel for the Isis

The
Temple is built in the same style as the Temples of the New Kingdom, as well as
some other elements, which appeared in the Greco-Roman period, such as the Mamisi
(the House of the divine birth of Horus (

God of
horus
by his mother Isis
Egypt
ian Goddess .
