Ptah, while the Temple of Mut is to the south.

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

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

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
