Karnak Temple
November 6th, 2009 by Travel
The Karnak Temple is located in a small village with the same name of Karnak which is in the city Luxor in Egypt, and the temple is a massive open museum today and is the largest ancient religious location, temple that is, in the world, and is the second most traveled tourist attraction in the country of Egypt, with only the Giza Pyramids being traveled to more. The temple is split up into four areas, with just one being accessible to tourists, with the other three areas being closed.
The main area allowed to the tourists is the Precinct of Amun Re, which consists of many structures and columns, along with several large obelisks. Nearby is the Sacred Lake along with the temple of Ptah and temple of Ramesses II, and probably the most popular area is the Open Air Museum, located northwest of the complex in the corner, where visitors can see reconstructions of structures that have been dismantled or are buried.
