Let's explore The Temple of Amun also known as The Precinct of Amun located at the largest ancient religious site in the world - The Karnak Temple Complex. For more than 1500 hundred years this ancient Egyptian site, situated on the East Bank of the Nile river, was developed and modified by dozens of ancient Egyptian pharaohs, including those most popular: Sety I, Ramesses the Great, Hatshepsut, Thuthmose III, Ramesses III, Tutankhamun or Taharqa.
Let’s learn more about one of the most prominent deities of the ancient Egyptian world - Amun-Ra.
Join me to see the gems of ancient architecture: the Great Hypostyle hall with its enormous columns, mysterious red granite monoliths known as obelisks of Hatshepsut and Thutmose I, the Grand Courtyard featuring bark shrines, statues, and ram-headed sphinxes as well as courtyards displaying osirian figures, remains of ancient Egyptian shrines, the sanctuary, and the Sacred Lake.
Let’s get to know more about the ancient history, beliefs, and architecture of this wonderful place!

Apet Sut means the places of the shrines (the chosen piece for the thrones of the gods) and it is located about 2.67 km north of the Luxor Temple on the eastern mainland of Luxor. Ra - Mut - Khonsu) and is considered the second complex of religions in terms of area, with an area of more than 60 acres (the temple of Angkor in Nepal is the largest temple in terms of area in the world, where it was dedicated to the worship of Buddha). Senusret I completed it in what is known as the Temple of the Middle Kingdom and the cabin of Senusret I (the white cabin) of the most important builders of the kings Senusret I - Amenhotep I - Thothes of Mess I - Thothes of Mess II - Hat Shepsut - Thothes of Mess III - Amenhotep III - Amenhotep IV - Tutankhamen - Hur Umm Hob - Ra Maso I - Seti I - Ra Maso II - Seti II - Ra Maso III - Shashiq I - Taharqa - Nectanebo I

Lot of corrections required in your comment. 1. First temple in this complex was built for Amun, Mut & Khonshu. (Not Ra, Mut & Khonshu) 2. Angkor Wat is the largest religious monument in the world & it is situated in Cambodia (not Nepal) 3. Angkor Wat was originally built as a Hindu temple to worship Hindu God Lord Vishnu. During 14th century, it was converted to a Boudh shrine.

Another awesome video Irena and told so beautifully, I would really love to be 'Under Pillars', they really are some amazing wonders in Egypt. Please tell me why Ramesses iii is your favourite pharaoh. Is it because of his domestic building and tree planting programs or is it the land that he donated to the most important temples of Thebes, Memphis and Heliopolis or is there more important reasons? And one more thing, when you say Amun Ra was the creator of 'Stuff Of Life', what do you mean by stuff? ThankyouAncientSitesGirl 🧡🧡🧡

@ancientsitesgirl Жыл бұрын

Thank you! Why Ramesses III? Oh.. First of all, he defeated the Sea People, who were invincible for many other empires. Secondly, he wasn't of royal origin, but made his way to the top. Thirdly, the art during his reign was just wonderful. These are the first things that come to my mind. The phrase "staff of life" derives from the ancient Egyptian hymn. I believe it means that he created everything and put life into it. BTW, wrote you a message on Patreon. Have you seen it?

@@ancientsitesgirl I'm so sorry, I thought you said stuff, I totally understand now, next time I will research before I ask lol. I like your reasons for Ramesses III being your favourite...

16:43 could you elaborate what you mean by this? Egyptian art has had an influence in the Coptic church but I am not aware of written sources that could show doctrinal borrowing. Instead it would seem that divine triads are just a common idea, and pops up in big three olympians and the Hindu Trimurti.

To me this is not a temple. It is a fortress with a bridge at the front on the Nile side. That group of pillars serve to support the weight of the gears or pulleys and the bridge or lock. At the front you have niches that served to hold the bridge or lock at the bottom And not for flagpoles Therefore, it tilts the entire structure downwards towards the rear And all those statues and images were added afterwards. But that is my opinion.

@ancientsitesgirl 9 ай бұрын

we basically know everything about the construction of Karnak, this great pylon and the walls around the sanctuary were built in the Late Period, hundreds of years after the statues and decorations inside were created. In fact, Egyptian temples, especially from the New Kingdom, give the impression of defensive buildings.
