Karnak Temple Complex

Category: Tourist Attractions 👁 100 views
Introduction: The temple gates, which are over 4,000 years old, stand 43 meters high. The hypostyle hall of the temple alone could accommodate St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. A single stone pillar requires six or seven people holding hands to encircle, and there are more than 40 such pillars lined up in rows. Standing within such a grand structure, in complete darkness, makes one feel incredibly small.
