Built in 1400 BCE, this temple stands on the east side of the Nile in the city of Luxor, in southern Egypt. It was constructed over the course of hundreds of years, starting with the reign of Amenhotep III and continuing through Ramses II, Tutankhamun and extending into the Roman era. The entrance was originally marked by two obelisks, but only one remains, the other was given to France and is now in Paris. Inside the temple are fantastic statues and a central atrium of columns 52 feet (16 meters) tall. The temple became overrun with sand and was restored to its current condition in 1960.
