Yet despite this, there is no single publication in the English language which deals with its historical development from the early shrine of an obscure local deity to the greatest state temple of ancient Egypt's mighty empire over the course of two millennia. Karnak endeavours to fill this gap, describing in detail the contribution of each pharaoh in turn through the centuries until the temple's final closure in the Christian era, over two thousand years later.\"--Jacket, Includes bibliographical references (pages 238-246) and index, Chronology -- The early temple -- Origins -- The Middle Kingdom -- The Second Intermediate Period -- The New Kingdom -- Amenhotep I, Tuthmosis I, and Tuthmosis II -- Hatshepsut -- Tuthmosis III -- Amenhotep II and Tuthmosis IV -- Amenhotep III and the processional ways -- Amenhotep IV (Akhenaten), Tutankhamun, and Ay -- Horemheb -- Ramesses I and Seti I -- Ramesses II to the end of Dynasty XIX -- Ramesses III and Dynasty XX -- The Late Period -- Dynasty XXI, Dynasties XXII-XXIV (Libyan Period), and Dynasty XXV (Nubian Period) -- Dynasties XXVI-XXX -- The final phase, Print version record, Electronic reproduction.
