Abstract

Isis, one of the most important and oldest Egyptian goddess 
ever, enjoyed a great position not only in ancient Egypt, but 
extended her status and sanctification as a goddess during the 
Greek and Roman period and her fame exceeded the Egyptian 
borders to invade her worship and statues Greece, Italy and 
Western Europe The aim of this research is to make a 
comparative study of the goddess Isis from the beginning and its 
emergence historically and archaeologically until the spread of 
her worship during the Greek and Roman period and its arrival in 
the countries of Europe and the changes that occurred in the form 
and shape of the goddess through the archaeological models of 
the goddess Isis displayed in archaeological museums inside and 
outside Egypt.
