Temple of Khonsu

The Temple of Khonsu is an ancient Egyptian temple located within the Precinct of Amun-Re at Karnak, Luxor[1]. Originally constructed by Ramesses III during the New Kingdom (c. 1186–1155 BC) on the site of an earlier temple, it remains one of the most complete examples of a New Kingdom temple[1]. The temple's gateway sits at the end of the avenue of sphinxes that once connected Karnak to Luxor Temple[1]. In Ptolemaic times, Ptolemy III Euergetes (reigned 246–222 BC) added a great gateway and enclosure wall, of which only the gateway now survives[1]. Inscriptions in the forecourt date to the time of the high priest Herihor (c. 1080 BC)[1].
