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.
