Karnak is a complex in Egypt where
ancient ruined temples are located. These temples are from the era of
Pharoah Ramses II, from around 1391-1351 BC. This area was the most
important place for worship during this time. The Great Temple of Amun
was a very large building, and it is still available to visitors today.
The Karnak Temple Complex is located near Luxor, south of Cairo, Egypt.
It is visited more than any other historical area in the world, after
the Giza Pyramids, and it is the largest ancient religious preservation
in the world
This area is very significant because it
reveals much of the history of this area through scenes that are
displayed in the complex. There are battle scenes between pharaohs and
enemies, and rulers were made a permanent part of history through these
memorials. Many remarkable displays of the history of this time are
still standing, such as the statue of Pinedjem I which is 10.5 meters
tall. The sandstone that was used in the temple’s complex was brought
from over 100 miles away on the Nile River. Another amazing feature of
the Precinct of Amun-Re is the panora of a freize that displays very
clear images of ancient characters that still stands today. In 323 AD,
when Constantine the Great recognized the Christian religion, the
complex was closed down, and Christian churches were built
