By the time I reached Luxor I was exhausted from a long day of sightseeing in the blazing temperatures of the Egyptian desert--I was totally unprepared for what I now saw. Karnak is not ONE temple, it is an entire complex of temples built over numerous centuries by pharaoh after pharaoh after pharaoh. You could easily spend an entire vacation at this one site and never explore all the history it has to offer.

Here my guide is talking about the towering obelisks which you see here and explaining what happened to many of the ones that are now missing from the site. This footage was recorded June 12, 2012.
