Open doorway inside the Karnak temple leading to more structures beyond

Like some other previous photos, this photo also shows a section inside the Karnak temple in Luxor. The temple was a magnificent structure, constructed around 35 centuries past, with many pharaohs contributing towards the building of the temple (pharaohs would add their own touches to the existing temple). Now, you can see the remains of the temple, with a lot of the vertical structure still remaining, but most of the temple has lost a roof. Items such as this open doorway remain, and can be seen inside the temple in a number of areas.
