The temple of Karnak is a Cult temple dedicated to Amun, Mut and Khonsu. It is the largest religious building ever constructed built over 2,000 years. This place which is now in ruins brought about by flooding in ancient times is still capable of overshadowing many wonders of the modern world and in its day must have been awe-inspiring.
The Colossi of Memnon are a pair of giant statues located on the west bank of the Nile River in Luxor, Egypt. Standing at over 18 meters tall, these statues were built during the reign of Amenhotep III, who ruled Egypt during the 18th dynasty in the 14th century BCE. Despite their age, the Colossi of Memnon remain an enduring symbol of ancient Egypt, and their massive size and mysterious origins continue to fascinate visitors from around the world.
