December 30, 2018 - "Karnak is located just few Km North of Luxor, and is arguably Egypt’s greatest monument bar the Pyramids.
Built on a gigantic scale, the site covers in total more than 245 acres and is the largest ancient religious site on the planet. It took a total of 1300 years to build and has been attracting pilgrims (and now tourists) for more than 4000 years.

Este fabuloso complejo templario albergaba, no solo,la sede del gran dios Amón, sino que, además constituía también el emplazamiento de numerosas capillas y templos dedicados a otros dioses. Por ejemplo: en el recinto se encuentran tres complejos principales: en el centro se halla el de Amón, con sus capillas auxiliares; en el sur el de su esposa, la diosa Mut y hacia el norte el recitnto de Montu. El pequeño templo de Jonsu dios que formaba parte de la tríada tebana, se encuentra dentro del recinto principal de Amón
También conocido como el complejo de Karnak , es un vasto conglomerado de templos, capillas y otras construcciones que ocupan una extensión aproximada de 1,5 km de largo.

También conocido como el complejo de Karnak , es un vasto conglomerado de templos, capillas y otras construcciones que ocupan una extensión aproximada de 1,5 km de largo.
The Karnak Temple Complex, commonly known as Karnak, comprises a vast mix of temples, pylons, chapels, and other buildings near Luxor, Egypt. Construction at the complex began during the reign of Senusret I (reigned 1971–1926 BC) in the Middle Kingdom (c. 2000–1700 BC) and continued into the Ptolemaic Kingdom (305–30 BC), although most of the extant buildings date from the New Kingdom. The area around Karnak was the ancient Egyptian Ipet-isut ("The Most Selected of Places") and the main place of worship of the 18th Dynastic Theban Triad, with the god Amun as its head. It is part of the monumental city of Thebes, and in 1979 it was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List along with the rest of the city. Karnak gets its name from the nearby, and partly surrounded, modern village of El-Karnak, 2.5 kilometres (1.6 miles) north of Luxor.
The complex is a vast open site and includes the Karnak Open Air Museum. It is believed to be the second-most-visited historical site in Egypt; only the Giza pyramid complex near Cairo receives more visits. It consists of four main parts, of which only the largest is currently open to the 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 Precinct of Mut is very ancient, being dedicated to an Earth and creation deity, but not yet restored. The original temple was destroyed and partially restored by Hatshepsut, although another pharaoh built around it in order to change the focus or orientation of the sacred area. Many portions of it may have been carried away for use in other buildings.
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 vast. The deities represented range from some of the earliest worshipped to those worshipped much later in the history of the Ancient Egyptian culture. Although destroyed, it also contained an early temple built by Amenhotep IV (Akhenaten), the pharaoh who later would celebrate a nearly monotheistic religion he established that prompted him to move his court and religious center away from Thebes. It also contains evidence of adaptations, where the buildings of the ancient Egyptians were used by later cultures for their own religious purposes, such as Coptic churches.
Karnak (al-Karnak,الكرنك, "ciudad fortificada", llamada en el Antiguo Egipto Ipet sut, "el lugar más venerado") es una pequeña población de Egipto, situada en la ribera oriental del río Nilo, junto a Luxor. Era la zona de la antigua Tebas que albergaba el complejo religioso más importante del Antiguo Egipto.
Forma parte del conjunto denominado Antigua Tebas con sus necrópolis, declarado Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la Unesco en 1979. Es el conjunto de templos más grande de Egipto.
Durante siglos, este lugar fue el más influyente centro religioso egipcio. El templo principal estaba dedicado al culto del dios Amón, pero como en otros templos egipcios también se veneraba a otras divinidades.
El complejo de templos de Karnak lo componen:
el recinto de Amón-Ra,
el recinto de Montu,
el recinto de Mut,
el templo de Jonsu,
el templo de Opet,
el templo de Ptah.
Existía también un lago sagrado, numerosos templetes y capillas de menor tamaño, y múltiples estancias y almacenes situados dentro de los muros que circundaban el recinto principal.
La diferencia principal entre el templo de Amón en Karnak, que Diodoro de Sicilia afirma ser el más antiguo de Tebas, y la mayoría de los templos egipcios es el tiempo y esfuerzo empleados en su construcción y posteriores ampliaciones. Unos treinta faraones contribuyeron con sus edificaciones convirtiendo al complejo en un conjunto, que por su tamaño (unas treinta hectáreas), no se había conocido jamás.
La entrada, entre dos inmensos pilonos, está precedido por un dromos ("camino del dios") o avenida de esfinges, con cabeza de carnero, símbolos del dios Amón. Se accede a un gran patio porticado donde se encuentra, a la izquierda, un templete del faraón Seti II, una de las columnas de Taharqo y la monumental estatua de Pinedyem I, a la derecha el templo de Ramsés III, al frente, la sala hipóstila, y un poco más al fondo, los obeliscos de Thutmose I y Hatshepsut; después hay una serie de estancias, con patios menores, y el santuario, a los que sólo tenían acceso el faraón y los sacerdotes.
La sala hipóstila de Karnak es una de las partes más singulares del conjunto religioso. Con 23 metros de altura, es un espacio arquitectónico cuya cubierta está sustentada por 122 gigantescas columnas que son más altas en las dos filas centrales, conformando un gran pasillo, cuya disposición posibilita iluminar desde el eje de la sala. Como material se utilizó la piedra, tallada en bloques que conforman los tambores de las columnas. Estas sustentaban en basas y terminaban en gigantescos capiteles papiriformes y campaniformes, sobre los cuales se apostaban enormes dinteles que sostenían una cubierta adintelada. Los fustes de tan colosales columnas se encontraban decorados con relieves polícromos, encargados de complementar la grandiosidad del lugar sagrado.
En el antiguo Egipto, la construcción de los templos se iniciaba siempre por el santuario, lo que significa que Karnak se comenzó por el centro y se terminó de construir por las entradas al recinto. Todo el conjunto estaba ricamente decorado y pintado en vivos colores.
Después de las pirámides de Guiza, es el segundo lugar más visitado de Egipto.
Está formado por dos partes, una más antigua y otra más novedosa. Se fueron añadiendo salas, patios y pilonos con un claro carácter monumental. Tiene un eje perpendicular al río, que es el principal, y otro paralelo, que son añadidos. Hay un canal procedente del Nilo delante del cual había un embarcadero al que se llegaba por dos rampas, una de cada lado, y delante del canal había un embalse. Del embarcadero al primer pilono había una avenida de esfinges con cuerpo de león y cabeza de carnero. Ese primer pilono, llamado pilono I, muestra 4 agujeros a cada lado en los que se encajaban los mástiles de madera de cedro revestidos de cobre para las banderolas de días de fiesta. En la parte de arriba tenía 4 pequeñas ventanas que servían para que salieran 4 argollas de cada lado que sujetaban los mástiles. Este pilono junto con los dos lados laterales que les siguen fueron obra de la dinastía XXII del faraón Sheshonk I. Ambos no se terminaron y por ello este pilono no tiene relieves.
La sala hipóstila.
Detrás del primer pilono está el gran patio de palacio. Es un patio porticado en todos sus lados. Dentro hay numerosas construcciones diferentes de finales de la dinastía XVIII y de la dinastía ptolemaica. Es el más grande de todos los patios egipcios. En el norte tiene 18 columnas con capiteles papiriformes cerrados y el lado sur está formado por 9 columnas iguales cortadas por el templo reposadero de Ramsés III. Del otro lado del templo está el pórtico de los bubastitas formado por dos columnas y dos pilares. En el centro estaba el templo de Taharqa que era donde se colocaba la barca procesional. Este era de una sola sala con una columna de gran altura con capitel campaniforme. Al lado del pilono 1 está el templo de Sesostris I. Este tiene 3 habitaciones independientes. Era para colocar las tres barcas en momentos solemnes situando la de Khosu al este, la de Mut al oeste y la de Amon en el centro. Aquí Ramsés III edificó un templo simple mucho más grande que lo demás. A este se llegaba por una pequeña avenida de esfinges con dos pilonos de entrada, detrás un patio porticado con pilares osiriacos, luego una sala hipóstila sencilla con una nave central más alta y ancha con claristorios en la diferencia de altura. En el Sancta Sanctorum se colocaban las barcas. Delante del pilono II, ligeramente más pequeño que el primero, tiene un pórtico con dos colosos del faraón Ramsés II de los que solo se conserva el de la derecha. Estas colosales figuras del faraón eran en granito rosa.
Este pilono y el patio que lo procede son obra de Horemheb. Este fue un jefe del ejército que se convirtió en Faraón. Comenzó la nave central de la sala hipóstila, que es una de las más grandes construcciones del arte egipcio, comprendido entre el II y el III pilono. Esta sala está comprendida por 134 columnas. La nave central tiene 12 columnas con capiteles campaniformes, con claristorios en la diferencia de altura. Las naves laterales, muy estrechas, estaban formadas por capiteles lotiformes. Los fustes de las columnas estaban cubiertos con relieves y escultura jeroglífica. Las naves laterales las hizo Horemheb y la central Amenofis III, que construyó también el III pilono cerrando la sala hipóstila. Tras el III pilono hay un patio que une los dos espacios. Este gran patio se creó como separación del III y IV pilonos y tenía 4 obeliscos de granito rosa de los que se conserva uno.
Se conservan dos estatuas hechas por Tutankamon de Amon y Amonet en arenisca roja. Seguidos de ese patio está el santuario de la arca. Ha sido reconstruido su techo y se han podido recuperar restos de la policromía que revestía sus paredes. Seguido hay un patio con restos del templo de Amon construido en el imperio medio y reformado por Hatshepsut.
Esta construyó en otro lugar una especie de sala que se llamaba de los festivales. Luego Tutmosis III lo destruyó y construyó otra sala de festivales. A este se entra por la derecha. Delante de la puerta había un coloso y tenía unas especies de escalinatas que accedían al interior. Cuando entrabas había unas habitaciones para el templo. La sala central es más alta que la nave lateral, muy curiosa ya que rodea toda la nave central estructurada con columnas. Esta nave está apoyada en pilares.
Después se pasa a la habitación del jardín botánico, formada por 4 enormes columnas papiriformes y los relieves de esta sala nos hablan de su paraíso, que era un jardín de recreo con plantas y aves importantes y curiosas. Ellos quieren traer estas especies para que se adapten al Nilo. Finalmente está el Sancta Sanctorum, donde estaba la estatua de oro de Amón, de uso privado. El templo fue construido desde aquí hasta el final. El lago sagrado para unos era un lugar donde se paseaban las barcas sagradas y para otros era una piscina donde se purificaban los sacerdotes. La teoría más acertada es que se criaban allí unas ocas de Meydum para su sacrificio, muy representadas en la pintura egipcia. La escalera que baja hasta la piscina es llamada escalera de las ocas. A partir del pilono IV se comunicaba por un patio del escondrijo con el Pilono VII, obra de Tutmosis III, con el VIII obra de Hatshepsut, el IX de Horemheb y el X de Amenofis III.
Estaba la llamada Avenida de las esfinges con cabeza del faraón Amenofis III y cuerpo de león. Esta se extendía 2 km, atravesando así Tebas, y unía este templo con el de Luxor sobre todo en las festividades importantes como el opet.

December 30, 2018 - "Karnak is located just few Km North of Luxor, and is arguably Egypt’s greatest monument bar the Pyramids.
Built on a gigantic scale, the site covers in total more than 245 acres and is the largest ancient religious site on the planet. It took a total of 1300 years to build and has been attracting pilgrims (and now tourists) for more than 4000 years.
Unable to comprehend its construction as anything other than divine, the ancient Egyptians called the site ‘Ipet Isut’ meaning ‘perfect of palaces’.
The construction of Karnak begun during the middle kingdom, but reached its Zenith during the new Kingdom as the God Amun rose to absolute power in the region. When wars were waged in Ancient Egypt it was seen as the battle between one deity and another for supremacy. Thus Gods were able to rise and fall like kings.
During the height of its power, Karnak presided over 65 villages, 433 gardens, 85 ships, and more than 80,000 workers and slaves.
The site includes three separate temple complexes, the largest and most revered being the Precinct of Amun. Large enough to accommodate 10 cathedrals, the precinct comprises of a sacred lake, several temples, chapels, a court, a festival hall and famously, the great Hypostyle Hall – a towering forest of ancient columns.
The site was once connected to the Luxor Temple - 3Km to the South - by an avenue flanked with sphinxes. Although some of them remain, most are buried beneath the edifices of the modern city." Text from the following website: www.alternativeegypt.com/Luxor/Karnak-Temple.html
