The majestic Karnak Temple Complex 🇪🇬
The Karnak Temple Complex is a vast open-air museum located near Luxor, Egypt.
It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most visited historical sites in Egypt.
The complex comprises a mix of temples, pylons, chapels, and other buildings that were built by various pharaohs from the Middle Kingdom to the Ptolemaic Kingdom.
The complex is dedicated to the god Amun, and the area around it was the ancient Egyptian Ipet-isut, the main place of worship of the 18th Dynastic Theban Triad.
The complex is divided into four main parts, of which only the largest, the Precinct of Amun-Re, is currently open to the public. The Precinct of Amun-Re houses the great temple of Amun-Re, the temple of Chons, the Barkenheiligtum Ramses III, and other smaller temples and sanctuaries.
The Karnak Temple Complex is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in ancient Egyptian history and architecture.
