View of the Obelisk, as seen from the rows of pillars inside the Hypostyle Hall in the Karnak temple

The Obelisk is one of the most important representation of ancient Egypt. The female pharaoh Hatshepsut put 2 Obelisk's at the entrance to the temple, but only one remains in a proper condition now. You can see a clear view of the Obelisk, visible from within the pillars of the Hypostyle Hall (you can see the pillars on either side of the view).
