Karnak Temple, Hypostyle Hall - Luxor Egypt


After spending a couple days in the Western Desert of Egypt, we made out way to Luxor in Southern Egypt. The highlight for me was the Karnak Temple. Quote from guidebook "The temple complex of Karnak beats every other pharaonic monument but the Pyramids of Giza" The Great Hypostyle Hall is Karnak's glory, a forest of gigantic columns covering in area of 6000 square meters. The pillars are 23m high and 15m round (requiring six people with out-stretched arms to encircle the girth).
