The sphinxes with the heads of rams, sacred to Amon, represent the god that protected the Pharaoh protrayed by animals' paws. This temple was the spiritual and cultural centre of the Egypt of the Pharaohs, dedicated to Amun-Ra, the King of the Gods. Really a complex of temples, built over 1500 years, Karnak is overwhelming in it's size and beauty. It has a total circumference of over 2.5 miles (4 km)!

laughter is the best medicine.
Ah! Happy memories. You make me want to return tomorrow, for the heat, the wonderful ancient sites and grandeur. Great shot, like the perspective you've used. Difficult and you've done well!

A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile
the moment a single man contemplates it,
bearing within him the image of a cathedral.

I find it interesting that in their culture that animals played such an important part in portraying protection and power. Love the perspective here, Ray...another very nice one.
