Karnak Temple

Access: Tourist attractions: Karnak Temple was started to be built by pharaohs during the 18th Dynasty, the New Kingdom, in 1580 BC. The New Kingdom is the most famous and glorious period in ancient Egyptian history. Famous pharaohs included Thutmose I, II, III, Hatshepsut, Akhenaten (Amenhotep IV), Tutankhamun, and Queen Nefertiti. The Karnak Temple was expanded by these pharaohs. The temple was expanded from the inside out, so the more recent it is, the more recent it is. The expansion was repeated until the last Ptolemaic dynasty of Egypt. The head of the sphinx here is a ram, which is the incarnation of the god Amun, who protects the pharaohs. It is very large, so it is better to have plenty of time to explore it slowly. It is a must-see place when you come to Egypt! #Luxor #EgyptTrip #KarnakTemple
