Karnak’s Great Hypostyle Hall: Forest of 134 Papyrus Columns.

Описание: Step into the Great Hypostyle Hall at Karnak—134 towering sandstone columns arranged in 16 rows, with a higher central nave that once admitted clerestory light to a space painted in vivid color and sacred reliefs. The papyrus‑bud and open‑blossom capitals evoked the primeval marsh of creation, reflecting the temple’s role as a model of the cosmos for Amun‑Re.
