Perhaps the most majestic and fantastic construction of all the temples in Karnak. The size of the columns and the complexity of the design are simply amazing. It is impossible to imagine how such a structure could be built without the use of complex technical devices. Even in ancient times...
The Hypostyle Hall is one of the landmarks of the Karnak Temple Complex. It is awesome in it's grandeur! It was supposed to have been planned by Pharaoh Ramses1 and constructed by Seti1 and Ramses2. It is gigantic and there are 134 pillars, each carved in intricate detail. The paintings on the inner walls were built for the priests and members of the Royal Family and have religious significance. While the outer walls are adorned with scenes of battle, where the Pharaoh is depicted as being powerful and strong as he wins over his enemies. The pillars are in the shape of papyrus, as the ancient Egyptians believed that they were associated with the beginning of Life itself. During the annual flooding of the Nile, this Hall would get filled with water, we can still see the marks made by water, on them. Being in the open has naturally affected the pillars. The ravages of water, wind and desert sand is evident here. The pillars would have been painted in vivid colors, obviously not much of this remains, though you will catch a glimpse of it in the ceiling where the pillars form arches. It is really hot in Karnak, under the Sun, so please carry water, wear lots of sunscreen and a hat is a must. Avoid bringing children with you. We saw a number of families with children hiding in the shade of trees. Everyone was miserable, parents and children! The washrooms are in the entrance complex and are reasonably clean. You will find water and other cold beverages in small kiosks out there as well.
The Hypostyle Hall was built after the fall of the first Arab invaders from khem . This hall was built in order to create the resurrection chamber that is the forefront to all of the world's religious books.
The columns and reliefs carved in it , just amazing to see !! Seems like a walking through the ancient times !!
Absolutely magical place, everybody should be able to see it
The best place of Karma Temple, the big tall columns make this place sacred & magical..
Remarkable engineering for the time when it was built . Some of the colours are still intact
