Luxor Temple

The Luxor Temple is a large Ancient Egyptian temple complex on the east bank of the Nile River in Luxor, built circa 1400 BCE [1]. Known in Egyptian as ipet resyt ("the southern sanctuary"), it served as one of Thebes' two main temples alongside Karnak [1]. Unlike other Theban temples dedicated to cult gods or deified pharaohs, Luxor was dedicated to the rejuvenation of kingship and likely hosted coronation ceremonies for Egyptian pharaohs [1].
