The Karnak Temple in Egypt

By Seif Kamel
   There is nothing in the whole world to be compared to it! This is how a
famous historian described the Karnak complex of temples. This is
because of its immense size and rich glorious history. In fact, many
travel packages in Egypt include visits to the Karnak Temple.
   Established as early as the ruling period of the Middle Kingdom, more
than 4000 years ago, the construction of the Karnak Temple continued
over the course of 2000 years. All the kings of Egypt wanted their names
to be added to the list of contributors in the complex.
   Today, travelers enjoying their vacations in Egypt should never miss the
most marvelous features of the temple. These include the startling
hypostyle hall of Ramses II, the Avenue of Sphinxes that used to link the
temple with the Luxor Temple, the scared lake, and the popular scarab
statue.
