The experts remark that there are 134 columns in all, with the biggest twelve standing 70 feet (21 meters) tall and supporting the structure's center. The remaining 122 columns are roughly 40 feet (12 meters) tall. Scenes on the outside walls depict Seti and his successor, Ramesses II, slaying enemies from Libya, Syria, and the Levant. Inside, the temple is lavishly decorated with gold and colors. The original height of the temple was probably about 60 feet (18 m), but it has been destroyed by fire or earthquakes over the years. Today, only the huge base remains, which is why it is also called the Base of Parnassus. The architect who designed the base of Parnassus is not known, but many believe it to be Apollodorus of Damascus because its dimensions are similar to those of other temples built during his time. It is possible that the designer was not given credit because he used old plans or that his name was lost over time. Either way, Apollodorus managed to design a template that would become the standard for future Egyptian temples. This template included a high platform called a pediment, which provided space for the image of the god to be displayed. The base also included two internal chambers, one inside the other, which may have been used for storage or as places of worship themselves. There are several such bases in Egypt, some complete and others partially collapsed, indicating that they may have been rebuilt after being damaged by an earthquake or flood.
