Luxor Temple
Bookmark and Share
Location:

The magnificent Temple of Luxor is located in downtown on the East bank of the Nile about 2Km from Luxor train station.

When it was constructed? and by whom?

Luxor Temple was started to be constructed around 1400 BCE by Pharoah Amenophis III, who also depicted on the two Colossi of Memnon . Ramses II added large parts to the temple more than 100 years later.

Overview:

The fact that the Temple of Luxor only has two major construction periods has contributed to a more coherent style and layout than what was the case with the Temple of Amun at Karnak.
The Temple of Luxor was dedicated to the Theban Triad, the three Gods: Amun-Min,Mut and Khonsu (the two latter had their respective temples at Karnak).

Mut was Amun-Min’s wife, and Khonsu their son . The temples at Karnak and the Temple of Luxor were connected by an impressive avenue, flaked with grand sphinxes on both sides. The entire avenue was more than 3 Km long, and must have had more than 2000 sphinxes all together.
