EGYPT, THE LAND OF MYSTERY
Karnak
FIVE
A little village with a big ruin,—that is Karnak. Karnak itself is a town of only twelve thousand people in upper Egypt, which has given its name to the northern half of the ruins of ancient Thebes. The most important of these ruins are the ruins of the temple of Amun. These are to other ruins what the Grand Canyon of the Colorado is to other gorges.
Many of Egypt's kings contributed to build the temple of Amun at Karnak.
