Egypt:The Temple of Karnak | The Lost Civilizations

The Temple of Karnak, located 3 kilometers north of Luxor, is undoubtedly the most gigantic site of Pharaonic Egypt. Dating back 4,700 years, and begun during the New Kingdom, it remains the largest religious structure ever built in the world. Karnak was not just a temple, but a real religious complex; a city of several thousand people. At its height, the temple was actually reserved only for clergy, laymen were not permitted to enter.

I was lucky to have had the opportunity to see this Temple in real - i was overwhelmed by the stunnig beauty and architectal perfection 💝all Egypt has many ancient historical Wonders ! Thanks a lot, Best Docu, you are much appreciated 👍🙏

Magnificent! French Egyptologists are top-notch. I would love to see a completed 3D representation of Karnak -- particularly one that would allow you to view it in various iterations. To be able to view it from Mentihotep II through the Ptolomies would be well worth all the work they're doing.

This site is full of such wonderful posts regarding the surviving Egyptian architecture & the people who created it -- the one on scribes is great!

J’ai eu le bonheur de visiter 2 fois la (planète Egypte)je n’oublierais jamais ce que j’ai ressenti entre l’administration et un grand respect pour cette civilisation que l’on est encore loin de comprendre.❤

Funny hearing this man talk about precision to the miler-meter like we are the most advanced builders 👀😂 do it with 500 ton blocks with no mortar then 😂😂😂😂 when people talk like they know it all, often that is not the case 🎯 the beauty of the ancient world is the questions it leaves us with, and we are yet to find the answers 💚

Where’s the rest of it? Are we supposed to think that everything else just eroded?

Votre documentaire est passionnant. Il l’aurait été davantage si on avait pu situer sur un plan de ce temple ce que vous montrez. Ensuite, votre exposé plutôt hésitant et alourdi de «  euh «  le rend fatigant.

Sick documentary on the Karnak temple and reconstruction history as well 👏👏👏

[MrLotrecht]

Who had has the power to do such a damage to the tempels? Who at this time could burn things so hot that granit till the core is outburned? With burning arrows?

Horrible sound editing.
Mispronunciation of many words.
Did anyone screen this before release?

[markstewart]

For those that notice, the dog lying DEAD on the floor at @5:22, can be seen moving at @11:31 . This leads me to believe that the editing of the video is such that the minute 11:33 interview was filmed before the 5::22 interview....pssst, my comments do not have to reflect the truth, as I am just letting you know my opinion...and I am bored.

[Tutankhsunamun]

you know you play sims too much when you can identify the song at 12:15

[Corteum]

What about all those drill holes into solid granite, or the clear evidence of the use of power tools.... Should do a documentary about that.

I didn't listen to the voice of my teachers
and to those who taught me I did not incline my ear.

Stop talking like a robot where's the narrative. Talk with Distinction. This is Egypt.
