Obelisk of Thot-Mosis I at Karnak Temple located on the banks of the River Nile,Egypt

---

Obelisk of Thot-Mosis I at Karnak Karnak temple complex, universally known only as Karnak, describes a vast conglomeration of ruined temples, chapels, pylons and other buildings. It is located near Luxor in Egypt. This was ancient Egyptian Ipet-isut ("The Most Selected of Places"), the main place of worship of the Theban Triad with Amun as its head, in the monumental city of Thebes. The complex retrieves its current name from the nearby and partly surrounding modern village of el-Karnak, some north of Luxor.
