Cult temple dedicated to the Theban triad of Amun, Mut, and Khonsu, Karnak remains the largest religious building ever constructed.
Known to ancient Egyptians as Ipet-isu – most select of places – the temple complex at Karnak was built over the span of 2,000 years.
Even as ruins, Karnak overshadows many wonders of the modern world and in its heyday must have been truly breathtaking.
