A pillar with carvings at the front of the Karnak Temple in Luxor

The previous set of photos have highlighted the various infrastructure related to the magnificent temple of Karnak at Luxor. This is the first photo I have posted that shows a pillar with carvings on it, and it shows signs of wear and tear; including a crack running down the front surface between the carvings (and since I cannot read the language, I have no idea what the carvings actually mean).
