Temple of Amun

The Temple of Amun is a mortuary temple complex on the west bank of the Nile in Egypt, central to the Karnak temple complex. Built during the New Kingdom period (1550-1070 BC), it was dedicated to the sun god Amun and served to commemorate the reigning Pharaoh and support his cult after death. The temple functioned as a site for making sacrifices of food and animals, a key characteristic of Egyptian mortuary temples designed to honor the pharaoh's memory and ensure his divine status in the afterlife.[1][2]
