The Hypostyle Hall in the Temple of Isis at Philae, on a small island in the Nile south of Aswan, Egypt. The temple is relatively new by Egyptian standards, begun under one of the last of the native pharoahs, Nectanebo I (c380-62 BC) but mostly dating to the Ptolemaic period. Painting by David Roberts (1796-1864)
