Although badly ruined, few sites in Egypt are more impressive than
Karnak. It is the largest ancient religious site ever built, and
represents the combined achievement of many generations of Egyptian
builders. The Temple of Karnak actually consists of three main temples,
smaller enclosed temples, and several outer temples located about 2.5
kilometers north of Luxor. One of most famous structures of Karnak is
the Hypostyle Hall, a hall area of 5,000 m2 (50,000 sq ft) with 134
massive columns arranged in 16 rows.Although badly ruined, few sites in Egypt are more impressive than
