Live:Archaeology cooperation at Luxor's Montu Temple in Egypt is on hand 走近首个中埃联合考古项目
Archaeology cooperation between China and Egypt is forthcoming in the Montu Temple, located in the northern part of the renowned Temple of Karnak in heritage-rich Upper Egypt's Luxor province. The Chinese team of archaeologists is the first to help with excavation in Egypt since the founding of the People's Republic of China. CGTN digs deep to find out more details.
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.

Ahmed and I visited the Temple of Montu at the Tod village (October 2, 2010)
Habibi, that is our video of the visit to Tod which is about 20 km south of Luxor and not easy to find. We found out about the Montu Temple by coincidence and were the only visitors there. The temple dates back to Userkaf of the 5th Dynasty in the Old Kingdom. However, the temple complex was extended throughout the periods and there are remains of the Middle and New Kingdom as well as Ptolemaic and Roman times. The guards were ever so friendly there and even served us tea while explaining the temple to us. It was extremely hot during our visit and we both were happy to rest a bit in the shade. It was so wonderful to explore it together with you my Habib Alby XXXXX

Karnak describes a vast conglomerate of ruined temples, chapels and other buildings of various dates. The name Karnak comes from the nearby village of el-Karnak. Whereas Luxor to the south was Ipet-rsyt, Karnak was ancient Ipet-isut, perhaps the most select of Places. Theban kings and the god Amun came to prominence at the beginning of the Middle Kingdom. From that time, the temples of Karnak were built, enlarged, torn down, added to, and restored for more than 2000 years.
The ancient Egyptians considered Ipet-Isut as the place of the majestic rising of the first time, where Amun-Ra made the first mound of earth rise from Nun. At Karnak, the high priests recognized a king as the beloved son of Amun, king of all the gods. The coronation and jubilees were also held here. Staffed by more than 80,000 people under Ramesses III, the temple was also the administrative center of enormous holdings of agricultural land.
The largest and most important group in the site is the central enclosure, the Great Temple of Amun proper. The layout of the Great Temple consists of a series of pylons of various dates. The earliest are Pylons IV and V, built by Tutmosis I, and from then on the temple was enlarged by building in a westerly and southerly direction. Courts or halls run between the pylons, leading to the main sanctuary.
The temple is built along two axes, with a number of smaller temples and chapels and a sacred lake. The northern enclosure belongs to Montu, the original god of the Theban area, while the enclosure of Mut lies to the south and is connected with Amun’s precinct by an alley of ram-headed sphinxes. An avenue bordered by sphinxes linked Karnak with the Luxor temple, and canals connected the temples of Amun and Montu with the Nile.

The Precinct of Amun-Re, located near Luxor, Egypt, is one of the four main enclosed areas 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. 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).
The history of the Karnak complex is largely the history of Thebes. The city does not appear to have been of any significance before the Eleventh Dynasty, and any temple building here would have been relatively small and unimportant, with any shrines being dedicated to the early god of Thebes, Montu.[1] The earliest artifact found in the area of the temple is a small, eight-sided column from the Eleventh Dynasty, which mentions Amun-Re.[1] The tomb of Intef II mentions a 'house of Amun', which implies some structure, whether a shrine or a small temple is unknown.[1] The ancient name for Karnak, Ipet-Sut (usually translated as 'most select of places') only really refers to the central core structures of the Precinct of Amun-Re, and was in use as early as the 11th Dynasty, again implying the presence of some form of temple before the Middle Kingdom expansion.[2]

Egypt Visit - P12 - Karnak Temple-at Luxor City - (Largest Temple Complex) - 7rm Travels
Karnak is an ancient Egyptian temple precinct located on the east bank of the Nile River in Thebes (modern-day Luxor). It covers more than 100 hectares, an area larger than some ancient cities.
The central sector of the site, which takes up the largest amount of space, is dedicated to Amun-Ra, a male god associated with Thebes. The area immediately around his main sanctuary was known in antiquity as “Ipet-Sun” which means “the most select of places.”
To the south of the central area is a smaller precinct dedicated to his wife, the goddess Mut. In the north, there is another precinct dedicated to Montu, the falcon-headed god of war. Also, to the east, there is an area — much of it destroyed intentionally in antiquity — dedicated to the Aten, the sun disk.
Construction at Karnak started by 4,000 years ago and continued up until the time the Romans took control of Egypt, about 2,000 years ago. Each Egyptian ruler who worked at Karnak left his or her own architectural mark. The UCLA Digital Karnak project has reconstructed and modeled these changes online. Their model shows a bewildering array of temples, chapels, gateway shaped “pylons,” among many other buildings, that were gradually built, torn down and modified over more than 2,000 years.
Karnak would have made a great impression on ancient visitors, to say the least. “The pylons and great enclosure walls were painted white with the reliefs and inscriptions picked out in brilliant jewel-like colours, adding to their magnificence,” writes Egyptologist Heather Blyth in her book Karnak: Evolution of a Temple (Routledge, 2006).
“Behind the high walls, glimpses of gold-topped obelisks which pierced the blue sky, shrines, smaller temples, columns and statues, worked with A gold, electrum and precious stones such as lapis lazuli must have shimmered in the dusty golden heat.”

埃及卡納克神殿 Temple of Karnak
卡納克(Karnak)神廟是底比斯(古埃及城市)最為古老的廟宇,在尼羅河東岸的路克索鎮北4千米處,該神廟經很長時間陸續建造起來,由磚牆隔成三部分。其中中間的部分保存得最完好,也是面積最大的一部分,占地約有30公頃,也是獻給太陽神阿蒙的(Amon Temple in Karnak);左側的是獻給Montu神的,占地2.5公頃;另一個是獻給阿蒙神的妻子——形為禿鷲的Mut女神,現在尚未發掘。
在卡納克神廟的周圍有孔斯神廟和其他小神廟,每個宗教季節儀式從卡納克神廟開始,到路克索神廟結束。二者之間有一條一公里長的石板大道,兩側密排著聖羊像,路面夾雜著一些包著金箔或銀箔的石板,閃閃發光。
卡納克神殿因為其浩大的規模而揚名世界,它是地球上最大的用柱子支撐的寺廟。形象地說,卡納克神殿的體量可以裝下一個巴黎聖母院,占地超過半個曼哈頓城區。卡納克神殿的大柱廳,約5000多平方米,廳內樹有134棵石柱,分16行排列,中央兩排特別粗大,每根高達21米,直徑3.57米,可容納100個人在上面站立。柱頭為開放的紙莎草花。整座大廳用如此密集的粗柱創造出一種震撼人心的效果。
殿內石柱有如原始森林,僅以中部與兩旁屋面高差形成的高側窗採光,被橫樑和柱頭分去一半後,光線漸次陰暗,形成了法老所需要的「王權神化」的神秘壓抑的氣氛。這些巨大的形象震撼人心,精神在物質的重量下感到壓抑,而這些壓抑之感正是崇拜的起始點,這也就是卡納克阿蒙神廟藝術構思的基點(資料摘自Yahoo 維基百科)。

Karnak, arab. الكرنك , egip. Ipet-sut - Najbardziej Dobrane z Miejsc – miasto w Górnym Egipcie, w muhafazie Lukor, na wschodnim brzegu Nilu, 2,5 km na północ od Luksoru. W starożytności miejscowość była częścią Teb, a obecnie postrzegana jest przez wielu jako część Luksoru, jako że obie miejscowości tworzą zwarty zespół miejski.
W Karnaku znajduje się zespół świątyń wzniesionych w różnym czasie, poświęconych bogom tebańskim. Centralne miejsce zajmuje największa na świecie świątynia z salą kolumnową, tzw. Wielki Hypostyl – świątynia Amona-Re. Od północy przylega do niej świątynia Montu – boga wojny, a na południe położone jest sanktuarium bogini Mut, żony Amona. Świątynie te są połączone ze sobą alejami procesyjnymi. W 1979 Karnak został wpisany na Listę światowego dziedzictwa UNESCO.

The massive temple complex of Karnak was the principal religious center of the god Amun-Re in Thebes during the New Kingdom (which lasted from 1550 until 1070 B.C.E.). The complex remains one of the largest religious complexes in the world. However, Karnak was not just one temple dedicated to one god—it held not only the main precinct to the god Amun-Re—but also the precincts of the gods Mut and Montu. Compared to other temple compounds that survive from ancient Egypt, Karnak is in a poor state of preservation but it still gives scholars a wealth of information about Egyptian religion and art.

Stele of Revealing - Ankh-ef-en-Khonsu
The Stele of Ankh-ef-en-Khonsu i (also known as the Stele of Revealing) is a painted, wooden offering stele, discovered in the 1858 at the mortuary temple of Hatshepsut at Dayr al-Bahri by François Auguste Ferdinand Mariette.
It was made for the Montu-priest Ankh-ef-en-Khonsu i. Discovered near his coffin ensemble of two sarcophagi and two anthropomorphic inner coffins. It dates to circa 680/70 BCE, the period of the late Dynasty 25/early Dynasty 26. Originally located in the former Bulaq Museum under inventory number 666, the stele was moved around 1902 to the newly opened Egyptian Museum of Cairo (inventory number A 9422; Temporary Register Number 25/12/24/11), where it remains today.
The stele is made of wood and covered with a plaster gesso, which has been painted. It measures 51.5 centimeters high and 31 centimeters wide. On the front Ankh-ef-en-Khonsu i as a priest of Montu can be seen; he is presenting offerings to the falcon-headed god Re-Harakhty (Re-Horus of the Two Horizons), a synchronistic form of the gods Ra and Horus, who is seated on a throne. The symbol of the west, the place of the Dead, is seen behind Re-Harakhty. Above the figures is a depiction of Nut, the sky goddess who stretches from horizon to horizon. Directly beneath her is the Winged Solar Disk, Horus of Behdet.
The stele is painted on both faces with Egyptian texts, some of which are Chapter 91 of the Egyptian Book of the Dead, while the back of the stele records eleven lines of text from Chapters 30 and 2.
According to Aleister Crowley, his wife Rose reported a revelation from the god Horus, through his messenger Aiwass. The couple went to the Bulaq Museum (no longer in existence), near Cairo, to see if she could recognize Horus on Monday, March 21, 1904. Rose recognized an image of the god on this painted stele, which at the time bore the catalogue number 666, a number holding religious significance in Thelema.
According to Crowley, the stela depicts the three chief deities of Thelema: Nuit (Egyptian Nut), Hadit (Egyptian Behdety), and Ra-Hoor-Khuit (Egyptian Re-Harakhty [Re-Horus of the Two Horizons]).
The stele is also known as the Stele of Revealing and is a central element of the religious philosophy Thelema founded by Aleister Crowley.
