Museum is located to the north of the first courtyard, across from the Sacred
Lake.

the center of the entire complex. The Temple of Monthu is to the north of the
Temple of Amun, and next to it, inside of the enclosure wall is the Temple of
Ptah, while the Temple of Mut is to the south.
There is also the small Temple dedicated to Khonsu,
and next to it, an even smaller Temple of Opet. Actually there are a number of
smaller temples and chapels spread about Karnak, such as the Temple of Osiris
Hek-Djet (Heqadjet), which is actually inside the enclosure wall of the Temple
of Amun. , mud brick enclosure wall surrounds all of these buildings, On your
way towards the entrance, you will find a ram-headed avenue of Sphinxes, which
was built to protect the Temple of Karnak, it is comprised of a series of
pylons (monumental gateways which taper towards the top to cornices), leading
into courtyards, halls, and temples. The first pylon opens onto a wide court

which is known as the Court of Tuthmosis I. Tuthmosis I erected 2 obelisks, but
only one obelisk has survived: 19m high and around 310 tons in weight, From the
Court of Tuthmosis, we reach the 4th Pylon, which Tuthmosis I also built, The
5th Pylon, yet again built by Tuthmosis I, is damaged and on both sides of the
entrance, Tuthmosis III built two small rooms, The 6th Pylon, which was built
