The Ancient World
Luxor, Egypt -- Viewed from beside the sacred lake in the precinct of Mut, Karnak Temple seems to glow in the warm last rays of the day's sun. 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.
