The Temple Of Khonsu .. The Karnak Temple Complex .. Part ( 5 )
From
Luxor the Shari' el-Karnak leads straight to Karnak, which it reaches by the
western avenue of ram-headed sphinxes, erected by Amenophis III . Approaching
the site thus from the south-west, we are on the flank of the great temple
instead of its front, and our first acquaintance with the group of temples
which together make up Karnak is made as we reach the temple of Khonsu . This
small temple was dedicated to the son of the Theban triad, the moon-god .

more worthy of his name .
