Egypt 11: Karnak

Karnak Temple near Luxor is the largest ancient religious compound in the world (if you don't look too closely at Angkor Wat).  Apparently the first things each new pharoah did was start work on their tomb, their mortuary temple, and an addition to Karnak. At least 30 pharoahs built here.

 It was the center for the triad of Theban gods: Amun, Mut, and Khonsu. (Egyptian gods tended to come in three-packs.)

The Red Chapel of Hatshepsut. My vague memory is that we were told the  inner dimensions resemble those of the Desert Tabernacle in the Books of Moses.  Can't find that on the web, though.
