How Did Ancient Egyptians Build Karnak Temple?

Imagine a forest of one hundred and thirty-four stone giants, some taller than a seven-story building, and none raised with a crane. How did ancient Egyptians build Karnak Temple? In this video, we follow the builders from the quarry to the temple gate. You'll see how sandstone from Gebel el-Silsila floated down the Nile, why the mud-brick ramp behind Karnak's unfinished First Pylon is such a valuable clue, how the 134 columns of the Great Hypostyle Hall were stacked from stone drums, and how a 320-ton granite obelisk was cut at Aswan, shipped down the river and raised upright. We also cover who the builders were, how Hatshepsut's inscription claims her obelisks took just seven months, why Thutmose III built a wall around one, how the Opet Festival and the Avenue of Sphinxes connected Karnak to Luxor Temple, and why the temple was never really finished. 📺 Watch our previous video: The ENTIRE History of the Pyramids → (ADD LINK) 📺 Also watch: Apep vs Jörmungandr → (ADD LINK) ⚠️ Where scholars disagree or the evidence is incomplete (like exactly how obelisks were raised), the video says so. 💬 Which Egyptian temple should we explore next?
