In the afternoon, we toured the Temple of Karnak which is dedicated to the three gods, Amun-Re, Mut, and Khonsu. The original temples were built in the 18th and 19th Dynasties with additions being made by the Ptolemies and the Romans. They still display the earth and mud brick used to get the large blocks to higher levels of the temple. Once in place, they would remove the dirt and the temple looked as if the stones were magically lifted there with no help.
