The remaining base (pedestral) of a statue inside the Karnak temple in Luxor

Like some previous photos, this photo shows the decay caused by the ravages of time. The Karnak temple in Luxor was built around 34 centuries back, and there are sections of the temple that are in a pretty good condition, but there are also sections that are more damaged; such as this base of a statue where the statue has disappeared.
