The ancient Egyptians are known for their beautiful temples. The Luxor Temple is one of the most extraordinary. Containing ten sections, Luxor Temple is massive. The entrance alone is over two hundred feet wide!

The Temple complex, located on the east bank of the Nile River, in the city today known as Luxor (ancient Thebes) was constructed in approximately 1400 BCE and was completed by Pharaoh Tutankhamun. The Luxor Temple demonstrated how advanced the ancient Egyptian civilization was and that it possessed exalted knowledge and achievements both materially and spiritually.

The Temple is an architectural encyclopedia of what the ancient Egyptians knew of humanity and the universe. Unlike many other ancient constructions in Thebes, Luxor Temple still stands and is visited to this day. It is also still used as a place of worship.
