The Karnak Temple Complex, commonly known as Karnak, comprises a vast mix of decayed temples, pylons, chapels, and other buildings near Luxor, Egypt. Construction at the complex began during the reign of Senusret I (reigned 1971–1926 BCE) in the Middle Kingdom (around 2000–1700 BCE) and continued into the Ptolemaic Kingdom (305–30 BCE), although most of the extant buildings date from the New Kingdom. The area around Karnak was the ancient Egyptian Ipet-isut ("The Most Selected of Places") and the main place of worship of the 18th Dynastic Theban Triad, with the god Amun as its head. It is part of the monumental city of Thebes, and in 1979 it was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List along with the rest of the city. The Karnak complex gives its name to the nearby, and partly surrounded, modern village of El-Karnak, 2.5 kilometres (1.6 miles) north of Luxor.

Points of Interest[]

Hill of the Seven Jackals
The Hill of the Seven Jackals was located in the country of Egypt in North Africa in the region known as Karnak. Some three-thousand years ago, the Priests of Arkam buried the Princess Ananka here. Ananka's lover, Kharis, had attempted to resurrect her using the sacred Tana leaves, which was a forbidden act. For this crime, Kharis was turned into a living mummy and chosen to serve as the guardian of Princess Ananka's tomb.
