As the rocket probe, "Philae" from its mothership, "Rosetta," approaches its fateful rendezvous, in minutes, with a comet in outer space, it would be well to learn of the holy and original Philae Island in the Nile River, dividing Egypt from Ethiopia,at the 1st cataract. Dedicated to Osiris, Isis, Horus, and Hathor, eons ago prior to invasions by successive imperialists from the Greeks to the Romans to the early Christians to the Western Europeans to Turks to Arabs and Muslims, after Africa's fall.
