The LUXOR TEMPLE is a temple complex located in the city of Thebes, the ancient capital of Egypt during the time of the New Kingdom. Thebes is located in Upper Egypt, on the east bank of the Nile River. Construction of the temple was begun by the pharaoh Amenhotep III and was completed by Tutankhamen. After completion, the temple complex was continually developed by other pharaohs like Ramesses II and outside conquerors like Alexander the Great. Temples during the New Kingdom were constructed as places of religious worship, dedicated to certain gods of the Egyptian pantheon. The Luxor Temple was dedicated to the king of the Egyptian gods Amon-Ra.
Constructive Features
The Luxor Temple is constructed of sandstone blocks from Nubia, in southwest Egypt. The temple complex is surrounded by mud-brick walls, symbolic of the separation between the world and the sacred realm of the gods. Temple design during the New Kingdom exhibited a set of common design features in temple construction. The Temple of Luxor exhibits many of the features typical of temple construction during the New Kingdom. One must first pass through the pylon to enter the temple.
