L’histoire de Masr al Gadîda, l’Héliopolis d’Égypte, remonte à la nuit des temps. Sa situation géographique et son histoire en ont fait un lieu de passage et de rencontres culturelles multiples depuis l’Antiquité. À l’époque pharaonique, elle est le berceau d’un temple dédié au culte du Soleil ; la ville nommée par les Grecs «Cité du Soleil», Héliopolis, renommée par la science et le savoir de son clergé, attire de nombreux savants et philosophes tels Platon. La ville et le temple antiques ont été démantelés. In situ, subsiste un seul des nombreux obélisques qui s’y dressaient autrefois. Le toponyme arabe Aïn Chams («Source du Soleil») conserve la mémoire du temple antique. Les fouilles archéologiques contemporaines révèlent des pans méconnus de ce passé prestigieux. Au sud du site antique, une tradition médiévale situe à Matareyya (Matarieh) un lieu de séjour de la "Sainte Famille" chrétienne. Elle a entraîné des pèlerinages à cet endroit pendant des siècles. Nombre de voyageurs occidentaux et orientaux rapportent leur visite en ces lieux. C’est à proximité de ces endroits chargés d’une histoire plurimillénaire qu’au début du XXe siècle, l’industriel belge Édouard Empain ainsi que Boghos Nubar élaborent le projet d’une nouvelle cité moderne sortie des sables du désert, l’Héliopolis moderne, connue sous le nom de Masr al Gadîdah (le «Nouveau Caire» ou la «Nouvelle Égypte»). Lieu de rencontre entre les cultures depuis des millénaires, l’Héliopolis moderne témoigne aussi des liens culturels privilégiés entre l’Orient et l’Occident.

Destruction of temples and their transformation into churches are central symbols of late antique change in religious environment, socio-political system, and public perception. Contemporaries were aware of these events’ far-reaching symbolic significance and of their immediate impact as demonstrations of political power and religious conviction. Joined in any “temple-destruction” are the meaning of the monument, actions taken, and subsequent literary discourse. Paradigms of perception, specific interests, and forms of expression of quite various protagonists clashed. Archaeologists, historians, and historians of religion illuminate “temple-destruction” from different perspectives, analysing local configurations within larger contexts, both regional and imperial, in order to find an appropriate larger perspective on this phenomenon within the late antique movement “from temple to church”.
