Second Pylon of Philae

The Second Pylon of the Temple of Isis is part of the Ptolemaic building history of Philae and leads toward the inner temple. Its reliefs include later Ptolemaic royal scenes, notably images of Ptolemy XII. The previous text assigned the structure specifically to Ptolemy II around 280 BCE with more certainty than the monument’s phased construction supports; it is safer to present it as a Ptolemaic pylon developed and decorated across later reigns.
