Karnak Temple
Karnak Temple Complex is an archaeological site in Egypt. The site comprises a vast mix of decayed temples, chapels, pylons, and other buildings. Building at the complex began during the reign of Senusret I in the Middle Kingdom and continued into the Ptolemaic period, although most of the extant buildings date from the New Kingdom. Karnak was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979 as part of Ancient Thebes with its Necropolis.
The site is one of the elements that make up the UNESCO World Heritage site, Ancient Thebes with its Necropolis.
