Karnak is an enormous gathering of temples, niches, edifices and columns
Karnak Temple is an enormous assembly of temples, niches, edifices and huge columns.
Its name in ancient Egyptian: Ipet-isut ("the most chosen place").
The era of the New Kingdom was the golden age of the Temple of Karnak, because the kings of the Eighteenth Dynasty, the first dynasty in the Old Kingdom, were interested in worshiping Amun after he was merged with Ra and became Amun-Ra, and they worshiped him as the god of war.
Since the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Dynasties were famous for their military expansions, it was necessary to pay attention to his temple in order to receive blessings from him in their wars.
Amenhotep I was the first to think of building a temple for Amun Ra in that spot, which was the same spot on which the ancient temple was built in the Middle Kingdom era. Then Thutmose I followed him and built the fourth and fifth pylons and two obelisks of red granite, one of which is still standing until now, as well as the Hypostyle Hall.
Then he was followed by Queen Hatshepsut, who ruled for 23 years and built the eighth edifice and the two famous obelisks, one of which is still standing and exceeds 29 meters in length. She also built some shrines.
It was followed by King Tuthmosis III, who built some shrines and surrounded Hatshepsut’s obelisks with a mud-brick building, the remains of which are still present, and there are still signs in the obelisk standing on his presence. He also built the fourth and fifth edifices and the Annals Halls.
He was followed by Amenhotep III, who built the third edifice and also the two giant columns in the celebration hall.
He was followed by Akhenaten, the first unified king, who called for the worship of the Aten and symbolized him with the disk of the sun, and built a temple for him at Karnak, but it did not last, as Horemheb quickly demolished it under the influence of the influence of the priests. King Horemheb came and tried to appease the priests, so he erected the second, ninth, and tenth edifices.
