Temples of Thebes


Temples of Thebes 
The ancient city of Thebes flourished in New Kingdom Egypt. Successive pharaohs enlarged and embellished two mighty temple complexes at what we now know as Luxor and nearby Karnak. The temples were built on the east bank of the Nile to honor the great god Amun. Karnak is now regarded as the largest surviving religious complex in the world.
