KARNAK

From the Luxor Temple a great roadway lined by miniature sphinx once connected Luxor to the larger and more impressive Karnak Temple. Karnak is the world's largest ancient religious site, much of which is still standing in phenomenal condition today. Karnak was used as a place of worship for many different reasons but primarily for Amun Re, the primary God of the Theban Triad. It is full of temples, pylons, columns, obelisks, chapels and impressive statues all covered in magnificently preserved hieroglyphs.
