This vast complex, dedicated primarily to the worship of the god Amun, showcased the Pharaoh's divine right to rule and his close relationship with the gods. The grandeur of the temple, with its towering columns and intricate reliefs, symbolized the Pharaoh's authority and the prosperity of the nation under his reign.

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.
