Karnak Temple: No, we didn't do the Sound and Light Show!





There are more columns in this Temple Complex than anywhere else in the world. Two Obelisks remain -- 4 have been given as gifts... We have one in Central Park, the French have one at the Place de Concorde, Spain and Italy are the current owners of the other two!!

It is lovely that the Egyptians have been so generous with their stuff!! But, we must say, there seems to be plenty to go around.

We are told that the Avenue of Sphinx will extend from the Luxor Temple Complex to the Karnak Complex. I think I heard that there are over 6o0 in all -- There are 132 already uncovered in the Karnak Complex -- The government is in the process of moving houses and Mosques to begin the process of uncovering the remaining ones.
