Virtual Egypt: The Biggest Egyptian Temple - Karnak

What's your favorite temple from Ancient Egypt?

Being a stone carver was a steady job

A workers cemetery was discovered near the Keops pyramid. Not the same construction, but perhaps the same working conditions. Workers skeletons did show a lot of issues with the articulations and with the spines. While living conditions were decent, hard stone work was taking a big tool on these people. There was of course accidents, but besides accidents, most workers had severe body wear due to hard work. It seems life expentancy was also very low among them - 35 to 40 years in average.

Thank you for this powerful video, Manuel. It’s exactly what I’ve been looking for. Can’t wait to explore others you have so thoughtfully produced.

Out of all the civilizations that have ever existed, the Egyptians fascinate me the most, there is just something about this desert civilization on the banks of the Nile river, with so many great temples, and architecture, and infrastructure, that we can't explain even to this day how they managed to make all of that.

nice but Karnak is in France

let us see the temple of civil rights lol lol

very interesting and well done

I read that all these people were scumbags and that in the resurrection these people are all going to hell..

❤❤

Great presentation on Karnak.

Hi Manuel, I really like this video and all other videos on your channel! I was a student of the history of Chinese architecture and I am loving all this new knowledge about Egyptian and Moorish architecture!

I duh you had more of the temple photodocumented for historical purpose but this was epic may Amun Re bless You for this (educational)video

Really awesome. I really liked learning more about the site from an architectural POV. It adds more depth to the appreciation of the site.

love your video, you are the best

Looks like a Home Depot.

Did they have roofs and if so what were they made of ?

Imagine if humanity got along. The wonders we can achieve. But, nope, we just had to be humans. Tragic.

on a sidenote: Temple of Karnak Hypostyle Hall and Sacred Lake were locations in TR4: Last Revelation. dunno how much attention the level designers paid to the original

straw for the mud?

It's my country ❤

Yes, it's happening again today. Pulled out a magazine from a pile of history magazines, and this is what I had to see. Karnak. It just was in my head, "Oh boy, Daddy's pointing out something else again" . Sancta Santorum. Amun Re.

My country ❤️🇪🇬

I don't want to hear you narration of what you think these things are or represent, or what mainstream archeology thinks and claims them to be. I just want to actually see it for my self and do my own study and tour of it all and get the best and oldest elders of the native peoples to walk me through it all and to explain to me what the were told of these things oassed down from their ancestors. Because I want to get to the actual truth of it and the ancient high technologies that were and or are present and taking place there that the mainstream is keeping everyone ignorant of.

Is the tall rock obelisk inspiration for Washington monument? It exactly resembles!

Thank you for your analysis - the commonality is an incredible insight

i would support you if you keep your beard ... thanks anyway for the information

Blocks sit on high walls of canals and wooden pullys drag the blocks across the top of canal walls blocks set on wet clay

Tibetan wood prayer wheels with wood rope pullys blocks where sliden across the top of canal walls pulled by rope and wooden turning wheel pillars on wet clay canals to transport blocks over hundreds of miles same as Inca roads obelisks and crank operated rope puller pillars for moving quarry blocks hundreds of miles or raw pumice mineral for cement pyramid rampumps of synthetic geopolymer

When I looked at Egyptian architecture, I always ask why and how the fuck

I found somewhere that greeks and romans were inspired from Egyptian massive architecture, they are the great builders

ALWAYS LOVE THEIR MASSIVE AND TALL ARCHITECHTURE, and every detail is fascinating as mystery

Manuel, the standard of your presentation is superb - particularly the cross referencing of the architectural styles of antiquity.

yeah man karnak and hatsheptsuts temple is stunning work...what a faith they all shared.shame it didnt come to their aid when shit hit the fan.famine/desease,the gods abandoned there most proud people....reality check,still amazing and i share the nostalgia for this place in time.its the place id choose to go if time travel was real for us...keep learning people.knowledge rules..onelove/peace..

Last month, being last out after son and luminaire, self, wife and daughter were able to walk through the main hall, very slowly, and totally by ourselves. Hypostyle hall, ours alone, magical does not begin to describe the sensation.

Amazing video! I’m going back next year, hopefully when the GEM fully opens!

Egypt💝

Karnak is a vast ancient Egyptian temple complex located in modern-day Luxor, Egypt. It was one of the most important religious sites in ancient Egypt and is considered one of the largest temple complexes in the world. Here's a brief overview of the history and architecture of the Karnak Temple:

History:

The Karnak Temple was built over a period of approximately 2,000 years, from the Middle Kingdom (2055-1650 BC) to the Ptolemaic period (305-30 BC). It was dedicated to the god Amun, who was considered the king of the gods, and was also used to worship other gods and goddesses.

Architecture:

The Karnak Temple is composed of multiple temples, chapels, and other structures, covering an area of approximately 200 acres. The main temple is the Temple of Amun, which is surrounded by a series of smaller temples and enclosures.

The Temple of Amun is entered through a large pylon gate and contains a series of halls, courtyards, and sanctuaries. The most famous feature of the temple is the Great Hypostyle Hall, which is one of the largest ancient religious structures in the world. It contains 134 massive columns, some of which are over 70 feet tall, and is decorated with elaborate reliefs and hieroglyphs.

Other notable features of the Karnak Temple include the Avenue of Sphinxes, a long avenue lined with statues of sphinxes, and the Sacred Lake, which was used for ritual purification.

Purpose:

The Karnak Temple was a center of religious activity in ancient Egypt and was visited by pilgrims from all over the country. It was also an important political center, with pharaohs using it to legitimize their rule and to make offerings to the gods.

Today, the Karnak Temple is a popular tourist attraction and is considered one of the most important archaeological sites in Egypt. The temple complex is still being excavated and new discoveries are being made all the time, shedding light on the religious and cultural practices of ancient Egypt.

Reminds me of Angkor wat
