The Temple of Ptah is a shrine located within the large Precinct of Amun-Re at Karnak, in Luxor, Egypt [1]. It lies to the north of the main Amun temple, just within the boundary wall [1]. The temple consists of six small gateways built close together [1]. The sixth gateway crosses through the pylons and runs through directly into the central sanctuary, where the statue of Ptah stands [1]. Excavations have found figurines of baboons and the gods Osiris, Mut, and Bastet, as well as stelae marked with the name of Ptah [1].
