The Karnak complex of temples, pylons, obelisks and chapels were built over a long period and added to by nearly every Pharaoh between 1971 and 30BC. The first king to order a building to be constructed there was the 12th dynasty Pharaoh Senusret I (reigned 1971-1926BC) and the last by Cleopatra (51-30BC). The temples were finally closed on the order of the emperor Constantine I in 356AD when Christianity became the official religion of the Roman Empire.
