"LIGHT AND SOUND SHOW IN THE TEMPLE OF KARNAK" TOUR.
The Karnak Temples, built by multiple pharaohs between 2200 and 360 BC, the Karnak Temple contains within it the great temple of Amun, other minor temples, chapels and the great sacred lake. The most important pharaohs involved in its construction were Hatshepsut, Seti I, Ramses II and Ramses III. Probably the most spectacular thing about the temple is its hypostyle hall; with more than 5,000 square meters it contains 134 columns, of which the 12 central ones are wider and raised the roof, now destroyed, to 23 meters high. At the entrance of the temple, before crossing the first pylon, 40 ram-headed sphinxes will welcome you. It is the beginning of the Avenue of the Sphinxes that reached the Temple of Luxor and the Nile. The temple of Karnak, in Thebes, dedicated to Amun, was the main place of worship in Egypt since the New Kingdom. The photograph corresponds to the great hypostyle hall. Over more than two millennia, the pharaohs embellished Egypt's main cult center, dedicated to Amun, the great god of the new kingdom. In the 18th and 19th centuries, Karnak amazed researchers even though it was in ruins.
