KARNAK
TEMPLE - This vast temple complex just to the
north of Luxor, consists of three main areas. The largest of these areas is the
temple dedicated to Amon and is the masterpiece of the ancient city of Thebes.
There are many theories covering the main function of the temple and some of the
inscriptions, which are unusually immodest, have lead to speculation of
fertility rituals.
The greatest part of the temple is the magnificent Hypostyle Hall consisting of
134 massive columns 23 metres high creating an impression of enormous 'power'
and strength. |
