Temple of Karnak - First pylon

Temple of Karnak - First pylon - main entrance

The avenue of ram-headed sphinxes leading to the first pylon which was built by the Ethiopian kings (656 BC). Originally there was three avenues of sphinxes one of which, two miles long, linked up with the avenue of human-headed sphinxes of the temple of Luxor.
