Monday - Karnak: Temple of Amun

This temple was primarily the product of King Ramses II, the most powerful and prolific off all the Kings.  It was huge, and one they are currently restoring.  A few pictures.

This temple was so massive, it is really hard to give it perspective with just a few photos.  During its first  incarnation, (subsequent kings added areas to the original temple), King Ramses II used 80,000 men to design and build this temple.
