Temple complex of Karnak - East Bank, Luxor, Egypt

The temple complex of Karnak beats every other pharaonic monument but the Pyramids of Giza. Built on a leviathan scale to house the gods, it comprises three separate temple enclosures, the grandest being the Precinct of Amun, dedicated to the supreme god of the New Kingdom - a structure large enough to accommodate ten great cathedrals.
