Karnak temple
Karnak was one of the most important sites of all. Located on the east bank of Thebes, today is Luxor, Upper Egypt, it is the site of many temples and chapels, and it was in the Great Temple of Amun that the cult of the god Amun of Thebes was conducted.
The Karnak was in reality a complex of temples, consisting of several zones: In addition to the largest, the Amun Precinct, there are the Precinct of Mut, his wife, to the south; the Precinct of Montu to the north; and, to the east, Akhenaten’s temple to Aten.
In addition to the ancient Egyptians’ mastery of stone, which is evident everywhere in the scale of the monuments, the reliefs covering their walls, and the statues populating them, several highlights are worth mentioning. The temple of Amun’s worldfamous Great Hypostyle Hall is a forest of 134 columns.
These massive columns have a height of 15 metres, aside from the larger, central, twelve, which stand 21 metres tall. The hall may have been begun by Amenhotep III, but the bulk of the construction, and all of the decoration, are from the reigns of 19th Dynasty kings Sety I and his son Rameses II.
The enclosure walls of the Amun Precinct also include a full temple to Khonsu in the southwestern corner, next to which is the temple of Opet, a hippopotamus goddess of childbirth, mostly built in the Ptolemaic Period
