Karnak

(in ancient Egyptian, Ipet-isut), a complex of temples dating from the 20th century B.C. to the end of the first millennium B.C. It is named after an Arabic village and is located on the site of ancient Thebes. Karnak was the principal state sanctuary during the period of the New Kingdom in Egypt (the 16th to 11th centuries B.C.). Intended to glorify the power of the pharaohs, Karnak is distinguished by the complex layout of the huge architectural masses and the magnificent decoration of the buildings. The temple of the god Amon-Re (16th to 12th centuries B.C.; completed in the Hellenistic and Roman periods) is characteristic of the New Kingdom type of sanctuary, with its large and small halls and courts alternating along the longitudinal axis. Chapels and small temples built at different times are located in these halls and courts. The most striking feature of the temple of Karnak is the great pillared hall, or hypostyle, whose walls and columns were covered with painted reliefs. Each great building period ended with the construction of a wall around the temple and two tower-pylons on the facade, against which were set obelisks and statues. Near the temple of Amon-Re are the temples of the god Khonsu (12th century B.C.), the goddess Mut (16th-15th centuries B.C.), and others. An avenue of sphinxes led from the Nile to the sanctuary. Among Karnak’s architects were Ineni, Hapuseneb, Puemre, Sennenmut, and Menkheperresenb (16th—15th century B.C.); Amenhotep, son of Hapu, and Amen-hotep the Younger (15th century B.C.); and Maja, Iwpa, Hatjaj, and Parennefer (14th—13th centuries B.C.).
