Introduction

The Temple of Amun at Karnak was a giant temple dedicated to the creator God. The temple was under continuous construction for over 2000 years as almost every King in Egyptian history from the twelfth dynasty on built on it. There are many levels to the temple that are separated by pylons.
The amount added to the temple differed from king to king, but Rameses II built more than anyone there. He added the most popular part of the temple, which is the Hypostyle Hall. Other famous features are the pylons, the open air sun temple, the obelisks and the giant statues at the front of the temple of Rameses and his Queen.
While most of this giant temple discovered, there is still more being unearthed by archaeologists. One of the more interesting things that they have recently discovered is road of over two miles connecting the Temple at Karnak and the Temple at Luxor. This road is lined with criosphinxes on both sides.
