A Visit to the Amun Temple of Karnak
An introduction to the largest surviving temple of ancient Egypt.
With 90 pictures, one overall plan, and 9 detailed plans.
The quality of the pictures in this article
(in pdf-format) has inevitably caused the file to be rather large.
Since not everyone has access to broadband Internet, it has therefore been split into
8 parts, each
approx. 800 kB in size.
