It was very important for the Egyptians because they thought that the River Nile starts there, and also due to the artificial tomb of the God Osiris made by his consort goddess Isis to deceive the god Seth.
It houses many structures, the biggest and the most intact is the temple of Isis (the magic goddess). This temple was begun in 280 BC and completed in 80 BC.
All of the structures of Philae were dismantled into 40000 pieces and moved to the Island of Agalika, which bears the name of Philae. The real Philae was lost under the water.
