Title: KARNAK: EVOLUTION OF A TEMPLE
Description: "The temple of Amun-Re at Karnak is arguably the largest and most complex religious site of the ancient world. Yet despite this, there is no single publication in the English language which deals with its historical development from the early shrine of an obscure local deity to the greatest state temple of ancient Egypt's mighty empire over the course of two millennia. Karnak endeavours to fill this gap, describing in detail the contribution of each pharaoh in turn through the centuries until the temple's final closure in the Christian era, over two thousand years later."--Jacket.
