Situated north of the Luxor temple Karnak sanctuaries were dedicated to the Gods Amon, Montu and Mut. |
The temple devoted to Amon hosts 5000 solid gold statues with reliefs adorned with precious stones. |
It was acquired by the Amon Carter Museum in Fort Worth, Texas, which decided to deaccession it last year. |
All went to the temple where Queen Hatshepsut made offerings to Amon, and then the myrrh trees were planted before his temple. |
The primacy of Ra is illustrated by the fact that Amon was identified with him. |
Greater drollery is conveyed by the apish look of the ram-headed god Amon excavated at Djabal Barkal. |
