The Karnak Temple Complex, known as Karnak, is a sprawling collection of ancient structures near Luxor, Egypt. Its history mirrors that of Thebes, with religious importance shifting as capitals changed. Before the Eleventh Dynasty, Thebes was minor, with small shrines dedicated to local deities like Mut and Montu. The earliest artifact found is an Eight-sided column from the Eleventh Dynasty, mentioning Amun-Re, the patron god of Thebes.
The Temple of Hatshepsut is open to visitors, and it is a popular archaeological site in Luxor. Visitors can explore the terraces, admire the reliefs, and learn about the fascinating history of Queen Hatshepsut.
Each colossus is made of quartzite sandstone and stands about 18 meters (60 feet) tall. The statues depict Amenhotep III seated on a throne, with his hands resting on his knees. The Colossi of Memnon are a popular tourist attraction and are easily accessible by road. Visitors to the Colossi often combine their visit with other nearby attractions, such as the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Hatshepsut, and the Valley of the Queens.
