This temple was built in 1400 BC, mostly by Amenhotep III and Ramesses II. When you stand before the first pylon, you see two enormous statues of Ramesses II that guard the temple. Only one obelisk sits in front of the first pylon. The second obelisk can be found at Place de la Concorde in Paris. From the first pylon, you enter the Court of Ramesses II. It is here that you can also see the Mosque of Abu al-Haggag, One of the Muslim Spiritual Leaders of the Medieval time. Walk through a colonnade of papyrus columns to the immense court of Amenhotep III. Beyond this are antechambers. One of these was converted into a church by the Romans in the 4th century AD. The walls were plastered and painted with Christian paintings.
