Smaller court, with the obelisk of Thothmes [Karnak]. Photographer: Abney, William de Wiveleslie
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Archaeological Photography
View of the standing obelisk, with the upper portion of a fallen obelisk lying among broken masonry in the foreground: 'At the end of the Great Hall is the third propylon, behind which stand two obelisks, dedicated to Thothmes I. and Rameses II. The two are shown in the photograph, together with the remains of the fourth propylon, and a small court, round which once circled osiride columns. The ruin of the propylons is so complete that to the casual observer it is at first hard to realize entirely the design of this part of the temple...The view was taken from near the enclosure wall, which once encircled the entire building, and from whence an excellent idea can be obtained of the various edifices. Behind the remains of the third propylon, shown on the left of the picture, stands the Great Hall [ie, the hypostyle hall], the smaller columns of which are hidden by the fallen masonry. In the far distance may be traced the remains of a temple, now buried, and which was dedicated to Amunoph III.'
