stup.ndous Ruins at Karnnk.

About two miles distant is the temple Of
Karnak, or series Of temples. The avenue
OF two miles that connected the temple Of
Luxor with Karnak was lined on both sides
with granite sphinxes, having rams heads.
It IL impossible here to give anything like
a detailed statement OF this vast ruin. It
has now standing many large columns
eighty feet high. eleven feet in diameter
and thirty-fve feet In circumference; AMI
the largest obelisk in Egypt and the second
largest one in the world, OF red granite,
ninety-seven and one-half feet high. In
the language OF another, let me say Of these
ruins: For splendor and magnitude the
group of temples at Barnak form the most
magnificent ruin in the world. The great
hall OF the great temple measures 40 feet
by so feet and the roof, single stones Of
which weigh 100 tons, is supported by 1874
massive columns sixty feet in height. The
titanic proportions are the predominant i'm
presslons on the part Of the tourist, and
its architectural and artistic beauties are
At first lost In a bewidering sense Of bulk
and immensely"

museum of antiquities OF ruined temples

Theban monuments and the first TO meet

and originally monoliths. The most cele-
brated OF these remarkable statues is the
one known as the Vocal Memnon, said to
have emitted sounds at sunrise.
The great temple of Ramasseum, which
for symmetry of architecture and elegance
Of sculpture can vie with any other Egyp-
tan monument. is really the mortuary
chapel of Rameses II. In the entrance
court a colossal figure of Rameses seated
on throne used TO confront the worshiper
The ruins scattered round the pedestal show
II to have been the most gigantic figure
ever carved in Egypt from a single block
of granite. The ruins OF the temples,
Kurnah, Medinet-H abu and Dar-el-Bahari,
are very interesting. The last Of these
Dar-el-Baha- was built by Queen Hata-
shepset, 1900 b. c. Afterwards her name
and image were defaced by her successor
Thotnes ILL., a most remarkable case OF
Jealousy, or spite work. which begets con-
tempt for him in the minds OF everyone who
sees these defacings Miss A. b. Edwards
describes the most remarkable features OF
the temple: intellectually It is unlike
any other temple in Egypt. It stands at the
iaI Gnu VI uetp Day OF natural aTnphl-
theater, formed by the steep limestone
cliff which divides the valley of the Tombs
OF the Kings from the Valley of the Nile
Approached by a pair Of obelisks, a pylou
gateway, and a long avenue Of 200 sphinxes
the temple consisted OF a succession OF
terraces and flights OF steps. rising one
above the other and ending in a maze OF
colonnades and courtyards uplifted high
against the mountain side. The sanctuary
or holy OF HOLES, to which all the rest was
but an avenue, is excavated in the face OF
the cliff, some 500 feet above the level OF
the Nile" All this is in ruins now.
