Arrival and visit to the PHILAE ISLAND, place of the temple of the mother goddess Isis that was rescued stone by stone from the depths of the RIVER NILE. PHILAE is one of the most beautiful sanctuaries in all of Ancient Egypt. The GREAT TEMPLE OF PHILAE is dedicated to Isis, the feminine divinity most universal and beloved throughout Egyptian history. In general, for the ancient Egyptians the goddess Isis represented femininity, life, and magic; but especially for those initiated priests who devoted themselves to their cult, Isis was the goddess of wisdom who treasured the arcane Mysteries of Nature. The goddess Isis, whose natural attribute is a throne, appears with the Hathoric horns for its syncretism with the goddess Hathor. Visit to the house of the essences: the Sacred Oils were made in EGYPT by means of an ancient chemical method of extracting the essential oil of the plant. EGYPT has the best essences in the whole world; they are 100% concentrated mixtures of thousands of flowers. We know that its use by priests was related to the initiatory level that the priest had reached. You can participate in a talk on the functional system of Sacred Oils, as well as the therapeutic benefits. Some essences are to perfume the house while others are for healing and relieving several diseases such as rheumatism, arthritis, colds, flu, and headaches. Different types of essences include lotus flower, secret of the desert, jasmine, Cleopatra, and Hatchepsut. Recently two tombs of the Ancient Empire (approximately 2,300 years BC) were opened in SAQQARA, containing mythological artifacts, inscriptions, and a range of deceased, among which were doctors and healers of the Royal Court. Archeologists found offering tablets for "The Seven Sacred Essences" that the Pharaohs used in Ancient Egypt. On the tablets, which were made of the finest alabaster, are written the names of the Seven Sacred Essences. The Sacred Essences of the Pharaohs were Papyrus, Lotus, Sandalwood, Amber of Kashmir, Rose, Jasmine, Musk, and Red Amber.
