Some of the beautifully decorated columns of the Great Hypostyle Hall, part of the Karnak temple complex at Thebes. The Karnak religious site was the largest in the ancient world - it is sometimes referred to as the Vatican of Egypt - and was composed of four precincts - the one to Amun-Re is the only one open to the public.
