Overview

The main temple worshiped the god Amun, but, as in other temples of Egypt, is also worshiped other gods. The complex of temples of Karnak is composed of: the great temple of Amun, Montu enclosure and Mut, and Khonsu temples, Opet and Ptah. Within the walls around the main areas, there were several shrines and smaller temples, and many stores and farms. The main difference between the Temple of Amun at Karnak and most of the rest of the temples of Egypt is the effort and time spent on its construction and subsequent expansion. Approximately 30pharaohs contributed to its construction, transforming it into a complex which, by their large amplitude, had no precedent.
