Chapel to Isis

Near the main entrance of the tomb is a small, extravangantely decrorated chapel to Isis, which has been mostly destroyed by early Christians who felt threatened by the worship of the Egyptian goddess Isis. The small building is set on much higher ground than the rest of the temple.
