54. Egypt: Luxor - Karnak Temple

Today, a tour of the Karnak & Luxor Temples. Outdoors. 105 degrees F.

The Karnak Temple Complex is comprised of four precincts (sections) that took over 2000 years (during the reign of about 30 kings) to complete.

The Precinct of Amun-Re is the largest, and the only one open to the public. The temple complex is dedicated to the principal god of the Theban Triad, Amun, in the form of Amun-Re.

My eyes are starting to glaze over. I can't take any more churches, monasteries, tombs, temples, or ruins. They're starting to all look and sound alike.
