Bigga

From the rocky neighboring island of Bigga (ancient Egyptian Senmet) there is a good view of Agilka and the temples of Philae. The principal deities of Bigga were the fire goddess Ups and Hathor. There are the remains of a colonnaded court belonging to a temple built by Ptolemy XII Neos Dionysos, with plant columns linked by screens. On the east side is a doorway with an apse built into it. On this island there once stood the famous Abaton, the sacred shrine containing the Tomb of Osiris.
