| Description |
First Open Courtyard, Karnak Temple, Luxor, Egypt The first open courtyard in the Temple of Amun was originally outside the temple proper, so the row of sphinxes outside the temple would have continued unabated within. However, the statues that once occupied the space within the courtyard (some were completely removed) had to be repositioned. They were placed further to the side, just in front of the columns of the courtyard's flanking porticos. The courtyard measures 84.12 by 99.4 meters. It is bordered on two sides by a portico with columns built during the 22nd Dynasty rule of Sheshonk I (Shoshenq I), the capitals themselves or in the form of closed buds. |
