(0434) Karnak Temple (Luxor) Egypt
Made by Joanot
The Precinct of Amun-Re, located near Luxor, Egypt, is one of the four main enclosed areas that make up the immense Karnak Temple Complex. The precinct is by far the largest of these and the only one that is open to the general public. The temple complex is dedicated to the principal god of the Theban Triad, Amun, in the form of Amun-Re. The site occupies roughly 250 000 m², containing so many structures and monuments. Some parts of the complex are closed or semi-closed, partially large parts of the North/South Axis (VIII, IX, and X Pylon), as they are under active excavation or restoration. The whole southeast corner is semi-closed. The northwest corner is a museum that requires an additional ticket to visit. Most of the southwest is an open-air-assembling area with millions of stone fragments, from small to huge, laid out in long rows, awaiting reassembly into their respective monuments. The area is not closed, as the temples of Khons and Opet both lay in this corner and are open to the public, though both are rarely visited considering the immense number of tourists coming to Karnak. Also in this area can be found the housing of the Akhenaten Temple Project, a sealed up long building, which contains all the remains found of the dismantled Temple of Amenhotep IV, (Akhenaten). * Dansk * Deutsch * Français * Nederlands * தமிழ்

Started by Seti I and finished by his son, Ramses II. Ramses lived to be 90 so he had time to build a lot of colossal statues and to finish a lot of other projects. This shot shows the height of the original ceiling and one of the original windows for light & air circulation.
