The Ancient World
Luxor, Egypt -- The central pathway from the entrance of Karnak Temple extends through three or more pylons (outer walls), a hypostyle hall, and into the central temple of Amun. Karnak was built over many generations of Egyptian pharoah, as each successive king added pieces to this temple honoring the most significant god of the ancient Egyptian pantheon, the god Amun (later, Amon-Ra), the sun god. © Rick Collier / RickCollier.com.
