1923 Print Pillar Cathedral Hall Karnak Egypt Temple Hypostyle Rameses I XGQ3

This is an original 1923 halftone print of what it looks like to stare down the pillared halls of Karnak's Great Temple. It has been said that this temple was initially planned by Rameses I, finished by Seti I, and had almost all of its decorations completed by Ramesses II. Due to a series of revolts, followed by a subsequent earthquake in 27 B.C., the temple was never truly completed.
