Precinct of Amun-Re
Karnak, Egypt
The Precinct of Amun-Re is an Ancient Egyptian temple precinct, or sacred enclosure, dedicated to Amun-Re, the principal god of the Theban Triad. It is situated near Luxor, Egypt within the immense Karnak Temple Complex. The Precinct covers an area of some 25 ha (62 acres) and is the largest of the four enclosures in the Karnak complex. It contains numerous structures and monuments. Some areas of the Precinct are open to the general public. The Temple of Amun is the principle structure of the Precinct. Large sections of the North-South Axis including pylons are under active excavation or restoration and are typically closed to the public. To the southwest is an open-air staging area where archaeologists catalogue and reassemble millions of stone fragments. The temples of Khonsu and Taweret are situated here and are open to the public. The Akhenaten Temple Project is located here, in an enclosure housing ruins of the Temple of Amenhotep IV (Akhenaten).
