Karnak Open Air Museum
The term "Karnak" finds its origin in the Arabic phrase referring to a "fortified village." Located in close proximity to Luxor, Egypt, the Karnak Temple Complex, also simply called "Karnak," is a vast collection of temples, pylons, chapels, and various structures, displaying varying degrees of preservation. The majority of the structures that have survived within the complex, dating back to around 2000–1700 BCE, belong to the New Kingdom period, which commenced during the Middle Kingdom's reign of Senusret I (1971–1926 BCE). During the 18th dynasty of ancient Egypt, the area surrounding Karnak was known as Ipet-isut, which means "The Most Selected of Places." It functioned as the primary temple for the Theban Triad, with Amun as the principal deity. In 1979, Karnak, along with the entire magnificent city of Thebes, was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari
In the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt, during the reign of Pharaoh Hatshepsut, the construction of the mortuary temple of Hatshepsut, also known as the Temple of the Holy of Holies (sr-srw in Egyptian), was undertaken. Positioned on the opposite bank of the Nile from Luxor, this structure has enthralled admirers of ancient architecture for many centuries. The temple's impressive three tiers, intricately carved into the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari, loom majestically over the desert landscape below. El Qurn, her pyramid-shaped tomb, is located at the peak of the same mountain range as her other tomb, KV20. To the east of the primary complex, roughly a kilometer away and connected by a causeway, stands a valley temple. The entire layout is oriented towards the Nile, with the grand Eighth Pylon of the Karnak Temple serving as the origin point for the splendid Festival of the Valley procession.
