Vincent Poon :: East Bank: Karnak (23rd Apr 2007)
The Karnak temple complex is perhaps the largest temple complex in the world. With a size of 1.5km by 800m, it is large enough to house 10 cathedrals. Over 30 pharaohs were responsible for adding their own personal touch (and graffiti) in it....Everything in there is just grand and gigantic, especially the 134 forest of columns in the Great Hypostyle Hall... You really have to be there to feel it!

The only bad thing is perhaps the corny Sound & Light Show that has wasted both my time and money... should spend them both in a local souq instead!

Fallen obelisk of Hatshepsut - that's why it is lying down instead of standing up
Statue of the Giant Scarab (beetle)
Not all walls and objects are lit. This is one of the few that are lit on the way to the final stadium
Final stop of the Sound and Light Show. Here you can enjoy over 30 minutes of poorly narrated and boring ancient history.
