The road once edged with sphinxes but now no longer, still leads to Karnak |

The glory of Karnak, or what's left of it |
 |
This gives us an idea of how it once looked, thousands of years ago. The most important temple of ancient Egypt - Karnak, a place of pilgrimage and worship. The image link will take you to more information and a free Karnak page. |

Silent guardians with long memories still greet the visitors, as they have done for time immemorial |
 |

 |
It's a place of superlatives. Everything here seems to dwarf the visitor |
 |

Tombs and the step pyramid |
 |
 |
And these are the small columns. This place was laid out this way |
and so the columns get ever larger as you progress deeper into Karnak |
