    unique statue for the most famous Egyptian goddess in the ancient Egyptian mythology the goddess of love, protection .and a lot of interesting things.Isis is a major goddess in ancient Egyptian religion whose cult spread throughout the Greco-Roman world. Isis was first mentioned in the Old Kingdom of Egypt (c. 2686-2181 BC) as one of the main characters in the Osiris myth, in which she revived her slain husband, the divine king Osiris, and gave birth to and protected his heir, Horus. It was believed that Isis guides the dead to the afterlife as she helped Osiris, and was considered the divine mother of the pharaoh, as he was likened to her son, Horus. Her motherly assistance was a healing incantation to help the common people. Originally, Isis played a minor role in royal hymns and temple rituals, but she was more important in burial rituals and magical texts. She was often represented in art as a human female wearing something like a throne on her head. During the New Kingdom, the features that Hathor - the formerly prominent goddess - enjoyed, took on, as Isis became represented wearing Hathor's clothes, with a sun disk on her head between the horns of a cow, as Hathor was previously represented.In the first millennium BC, Isis and Osiris became the most worshiped Egyptian deities, and Isis took on many of the attributes of other deities. The rulers of Egypt and the rulers of its neighbors to the south in Nubia began building temples dedicated specifically to Isis, and her temple in Philae was one of the most important religious centers for Egyptians and Nubians alike. Isis's magical powers were stronger than all the other deities, and she was said to protect the kingdom from its enemies, to rule the heavens and the natural world, and to rule fate itself.In the Hellenistic period (30-323 BC), when the Greeks ruled Egypt, the Egyptians and the Greeks worshiped Isis in addition to a new god named Serapis. Their worship spread to the wider Mediterranean world. The Greeks endowed Isis with some of the features that distinguished the Greek gods, such as the invention of marriage and the protection of ships at sea, and maintained strong links between Egypt and other Egyptian deities that spread in the Hellenistic era, such as Osiris and Harpocrates. With Rome's absorption of Hellenistic culture in the first century BC, the cult of Isis became part of Roman religion. Although her worshipers were a small part of the Roman Empire, they were spread throughout it. Her followers began to develop some festivals such as the "Pass of Isis" festival, in addition to some new ceremonies that were similar to the Greco-Roman mysteries. Some followers said that she included all the powers of the female deities in the world.The cult of Isis ended with the spread of Christianity in the fourth and fifth centuries AD. Her worship influenced Christian beliefs and practices, such as the veneration of Mary, but the evidence for this influence is still vague and has much controversy. Isis continued to appear in Western culture, especially in Western esoteric teachings and neo-paganism, often as a personification of nature or the feminine aspect of divinity.
