PhilipHammond, who excavated the Temple of the Winged Lions, concludes that it might be more faithful to the diversity of the temples to see them not as derivatives of Iranian temples, Roman temples or other, but to recognize the borrowing of constructional and decorative technique and to concentrate on why each was unique.
Hammond's answer is that the particular deity that each temple was dedicated to demanded certain aspects to be present in his or her dwelling place.
PhilipHammond's interpretation is that the identification with Isis is correct, but that it does not signify that her cult was alive in Petra.
