Temple of Amun-Ra - Luxor - Egypt
The Temple of Amun-Ra in Luxor
The only witness, in Luxor, to its glorious past is the temple built by
the ancient Egyptians to the glory of Amun-Ra, king of the gods, and
which they called by the name of Southern Harem of Amon.
The temple, uncovered in 1883 by Gaston Maspero, is 260 meters
long and was mostly built by two pharaohs, Amenhotep III, who began
it in the 14th century BC, and Ramses II, who completed it by adding
the great porticoed court.
Numerous other sovereigns, including Tutankhamen, Horemheb
and Alexander the Great, enriched the construction with reliefs,
inscriptions and minor buildings.

Temple of Amun (Karnak) - Luxor - Egypt - Part 1
Not only the temple of Amun is huge (the complex covers over 2 square kilometers) but it's the result of almost constant building activity that began over 4700 years ago and continues even today. The temple of Amun-Ra, Karnak's principal building, is the largest religious structure ever built. It was the god's home on earth.

Precinct of Amun-Re temple is one of the temples of the Karnak Temple Complex in Luxor, Egypt
The Precinct of Amun-Re, located near Luxor, Egypt, is one of the four main temple enclosures that make up the immense Karnak Temple Complex. The precinct is by far the largest of these and the only one that is open to the general public. The temple complex is dedicated to the principal god of the Theban Triad, Amun, in the form of Amun-Re.
The site occupies roughly 250 000 m², containing many structures and monuments. The main temple itself, Temple of Amon, covers roughly 61 acres and would have been able to hold 10 average European cathedrals. Some parts of the complex are closed or semi-closed, partially large parts of the North/South Axis (VIII, IX, and X Pylon), as they are under active excavation or restoration. The whole southeast corner is semi-closed. The northwest corner is a museum that requires an additional ticket to visit. Most of the southwest is an open-air-assembling area with millions of stone fragments, from small to huge, laid out in long rows, awaiting reassembly into their respective monuments. The area is not closed, as the temples of Khons and Opet both lie in this corner and are open to the public, though both are rarely visited considering the immense number of tourists coming to Karnak. Also in this area can be found the housing of the Akhenaten Temple Project, a sealed-up long building, which contains all the remains found of the dismantled Temple of Amenhotep IV (Akhenaten).

EGYPT: Luxor Temple
Luxor Temple is a large Ancient Egyptian temple complex located on the east bank of the Nile River in the city today known as Luxor (ancient Thebes). It was constructed approximately 1400 BCE.
Unlike the other temples in Luxor, Luxor temple is not dedicated to a cult god or a deified version of the king in death. Instead Luxor temple is dedicated to the rejuvenation of kingship; it may have been where many of the kings of Egypt were crowned.
To the rear of the temple are chapels built by Amenhotep III of the 18th Dynasty, and Alexander. Other parts of the temple were built by Tutankhamun and Ramesses II. During the Roman era, the temple and its surroundings were a legionary fortress and the home of the Roman government in the area. During the Roman period a chapel inside the Luxor Temple originally dedicated to goddess Mut was transformed in to a Tetrarchy cult chapel and later in to a church.
Luxor temple was built with sandstone. This sandstone from the Gebel el-Silsila region, which is located in South-Western Egypt, is referred to as Nubian Sandstone. This sandstone was used for the construction for monuments in Upper Egypt as well as in the course of past and current restoration works.
The Avenue of Sphinxes that links the Luxor and Karnak temples is being restored.
The Mosque of Abu Haggag stands atop the ruins of Luxor Temple, just inside the entrance.

EGYPT: Karnak Temples - Luxor
The Karnak Temple Complex comprises a vast mix of decayed temples, chapels, pylons and other buildings near Luxor, in Egypt. It is believed to be the second most visited historical site in Egypt; only the Giza Pyramids near Cairo receive more visits.
It consists of four main parts, of which only the largest is currently open to the general public. The term Karnak often is understood as being the Precinct of Amun-Re only, because this is the only part most visitors see. The three other parts, the Precinct of Mut, the Precinct of Montu, and the dismantled Temple of Amenhotep IV, are closed to the public. There also are a few smaller temples and sanctuaries connecting the Precinct of Mut, the Precinct of Amun-Re, and the Luxor Temple.
The key difference between Karnak and most of the other temples and sites in Egypt is the length of time over which it was developed and used. Construction of temples started in the Middle Kingdom and continued into Ptolemaic times. Approximately thirty pharaohs contributed to the buildings, enabling it to reach a size, complexity, and diversity not seen elsewhere. Few of the individual features of Karnak are unique, but the size and number of features are overwhelming.
One famous aspect of Karnak is the Hypostyle Hall in the Precinct of Amun-Re that covers an area of 5,000 m2 (54,000 sq ft). The roof, now fallen, was supported by 134 columns in 16 rows; the 2 middle rows are higher than the others, being 10 metres (33 ft) in circumference and 24 metres (79 ft) high. The Precinct of Amun-Re is dedicated to the principal god of the Theban Triad, Amun, in the form of Amun-Re (or Amun-Ra).
The hall was begun by Seti I, and completed by his son Ramesses II. The north side of the hall is decorated in raised relief, and was Seti I's work. He began to decorate the southern side of the hall shortly before he died but this section was largely completed by his son, Ramesses II. A series of succeeding pharaohs added inscriptions to the walls and the columns in places their predecessors had left blank, including Ramesses III, Ramesses IV and Ramesses VI.

Hey guys -Lucien here!
This video walk-through at the Karnak Temple in Luxor Egypt. We specifically were there to check out evidence of advanced ancient machining in Egypt. The idea is that either the Dynastic/Pharaonic Egyptians possessed some type of high-speed machining capabilities/power tools, used in construction throughout Karnak Temple's old/middle Kingdom sections of the Temple or they were constructed by Ancient Civilization X2. See for yourself the power tool marks and evidence of ancient machining! This is for you guys to decide!
The Human Truths Network Channel is about the combining topics of Human Origins and Alternative History in the non - fiction form. It is solely pertaining to an alternative history that shaped and brought humanity as we know it, to existence. It is presented in a different way than how we are usually taught on this subject. So in the nutshell; it is about Humanity and our origins involving an advanced pre- Mesopotamian and pre - Pharaonic civilization as well as the timeline of events ever since.
I have personally researched and studied the ideas presented on this channel for over 40 years. I was never satisfied with Human Evolution in the scientific sense (the normal study of human evolution in all related fields) because many ideas from the Archaeological record, Genetics, Paleoclimatology, Human Cranial Morphology, and many other related areas -- excuse my musician lingo -JUST DON'T JIVE MAN! The Old Testament, Sumerian texts, the Sumerian King List, Egyptian texts, Hindu Vedas, ancient texts of East Asia, the Mayan as well as many others ALL wrote about the same Gods and Goddesses that once roamed the Earth. These are the same in each culture but have and were identified and worshipped with different names. These Gods and Goddesses could have been the members of this very Ancient Civilization (I like to represent as the Ancient x2 Civilization) in my opinion they preceded our current species of Humanity (genetically) before the great catastrophe 11,500/13,000 years ago.
As stated earlier, this is way before what normally was thought of as of the first civilizations that we have on record, as in the Kings of Mesopotamia and the Pharaohs of Egypt.
Ancient Khemit was the area we now know as Egypt. This Ancient x2 Civilization built such monuments as the Great Pyramid, the Sphinx and possibly built or taught/influenced other Ancient Civilization x2 cultures.

LUXOR EGYPT: TEMPLE OF QUEEN HATSHEPSUT + KARNAK TEMPLE - SEPTEMBER 2017
I absolutely LOVE Luxor! It has a very different atmosphere and feeling then Cairo/Giza. I first went to VALLEY OF THE KINGS which is insane and mind blowing and a massive sight buried in the side of the sandy mountains, but no cameras are allowed at all. For an extra fee I saw KING TUTS sarcophagus and mummy here and it's beautiful. A must see if you're in Luxor. Oh, yeah, its really really hot dry heat!! It was 105+ and make sure you have plenty of bottled water with you and through-out the day and a hat. The sun is brutal! After VALLEY OF THE KINGS, I headed to TEMPLE OF HATSHEPSUT!! The Woman Who Was King!! Longest female ruler in egypt! My hero! #falsebeards
Then to Karnak Temple and then Luxor Temple, the carvings and art is insane perfection. You have to see this in person with you eyes!! and then got an amazing full course Egyptian meal and some turkish coffee and bought a killer piece of ancient art #legit.
I really want to go explore Luxor some more and more of upper egypt like Aswan, the black desert, and Mt. Sinai....man, I love Egypt.
My tour guide was absolutely awesome!! Great conversation, humble, respectful and helpful!

The Karnak complex
Karnak is the largest of the temple complexes atThebes. It covers over 2 km² .
The site was called by the Egyptians, Ipet-Iset which means The Finest of Seats. It was believed that Thebes was the first city founded on the primordial mound which rose from the waters of chaos at the beginning of the world.
The temple was built gradually over the centuries, from the beginning of the Middle Kingdom (2040 - 1782 BCE) through the New Kingdom (1570 - 1069 BCE) and throughout the Ptolemaic Dynasty (323 - 30 BCE).

Karnak Temple, the Temple of the Egyptian gods in Luxor
The temples of Karnak are one of the top attractions in Egypt.
To see these ancient monuments of culture with our own eyes was our wish. The journey was exhausting. We drove from Mars Alam to Luxor. The temple complex is about 2.5 km from Luxor.
The long journey was worthwhile. The temple complex Karnak is the (presumably) largest temple complex in Egypt. At every point there is something again marvel. The temples of Karnak have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979.
I'll show you the Sphinx Avenue, the Temple of Amun-Re, the stature of Ramses II, various obelisks, the Pillars of the Hypostyle, the Holy Lake and more.
Die Tempel vom Karnak sind eine der Topsehenswürdigkeiten in Ägypten. Diese alten Monumente der Kultur mit eigenen Augen zu sehen, war unser Wunsch. Die Anreise war anstrengend. Wir fuhren von Mars Alam nach Luxor. Die Tempelanlage befindet sich zirka 2.5 km von Luxor entfernt. Die lange Anfahrt hat sich gelohnt.
Die Tempelanlage Karnak ist die (vermutlich) größte Tempelanlage in Ägypten. An jeder Stelle gibt es wieder etwas zu

EGYPT: Hatshepsut Temple (Deir el-Bahari) - Luxor
The Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut was built for pharaoh queen Hatshepsut, dedicated to the God Amun and Hatshepsut. While the statues and ornamentation have since been stolen or destroyed, the temple once was home to two statues of Osiris, a long avenue lined by sphinxes, as well as many sculptures of pharaoh Hatshepsut in different attitudes – standing, sitting, or kneeling.
Hatshepsut was the fifth pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt. She was the second historically-confirmed female pharaoh, the first being Sobekneferu. She came to the throne of Egypt in 1478 BC. Her rise to power was noteworthy as it required her to utilize her bloodline, education, and an understanding of religion. Her bloodline was impeccable as she was the daughter, sister, and wife of a king. Her understanding of religion allowed her to establish herself as the God’s Wife of Amen. Officially, she ruled jointly with Thutmose III, who had ascended to the throne the previous year as a child of about two years old. Hatshepsut was the chief wife of Thutmose II, Thutmose III’s father. She is generally regarded by Egyptologists as one of the most successful pharaohs, reigning longer than any other woman of an indigenous Egyptian dynasty.
The Hatshepsut Tempel is part of Deir el-Bahari, a complex of mortuary temples and tombes. The first mortuary temple built at the site was from Mentuhotep II of the Eleventh Dynasty, constructed during the 15th century BCE. The Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut was from the Eighteenth Dynasty. Thutmose III also built a mortuary temple complex here dedicated to Amun; however, not much is known about the temple.
The temples are located beneath the cliffs at Deir el-Bahari on the west bank of the Nile near the Valley of the Kings, opposite the city of Luxor, Egypt. It is a part of the Theban Necropolis.

Karnak Temple Complex Temple of Amon Ra Luxor, Egypt
The Karnak Temple Complex, commonly known as Karnak (/ˈkɑr.næk/), comprises a vast mix of decayed temples, chapels, pylons, and other buildings. Building at the complex began during the reign of Senusret I in the Middle Kingdom and continued into the Ptolemaic period, although most of the extant buildings date from the New Kingdom. The area around Karnak was the ancient Egyptian Ipet-isut (The Most Selected of Places) and the main place of worship of the eighteenth dynasty Theban Triad with the god Amun as its head. It is part of the monumental city of Thebes. The Karnak complex gives its name to the nearby, and partly surrounded, modern village of El-Karnak, 2.5 kilometres (1.6 miles) north of Luxor.
Ипет-Исут, Карнакский храм — крупнейший храмовый комплекс Древнего Египта, главное государственное святилище Нового царства. Расположен в современном Карнаке, небольшом селении, лежащем на восточном берегу Нила в 2,5 км от Луксора. С 1979 года этот храм, вместе с Луксорским храмом и фиванскими некрополями, включён в список Всемирного наследия ЮНЕСКО.
