Karnak Temple, located near Luxor in Egypt, is one of the largest religious complexes in the world. Built over a period of 2000 years, from the Middle Kingdom to the Ptolemaic period, it was dedicated to the god Amun, his wife Mut, and their son Khonsu. The temple complex covers an area of over 200 acres and includes massive pylons, obelisks, statues, and chapels. The most iconic feature is the Hypostyle Hall, with its towering columns adorned with intricate hieroglyphs and reliefs.
