（单词翻译）

 This is absolutely breath taking, it is actually quite hard to believe in some ways the Egyptians did what they did when they did it, at a time when the rest of the planet, or most of it anyway was in intellectual darkness, the Egyptians were creating magic and mystery and stuff that lasts.

In its day the temple attracted pilgrims from across the ancient world.
This the temple to the God Isis which is absolutely central to the story of the Nile because ancient Egyptians believe that the river was swollen1 by her tears.
The temple bears witness * make shifts in our history, to the rise and fall of civilizations.
The stones here tell us an astonishing story, they are covered in inscriptions2 and graffiti, and here we've got a last known text written in hieroglyphics3, the last gust4 of a culture and civilization that has endured centuries, bit of writing here and then it's gone.
