Exhibit of the restoration of the Hypostyle Hall in the Karnak temple

The Hypostyle Hall is one of the most magnificent parts of the Karnak temple, an incredible temple in the city of Luxor built around 35 centuries back. There was a whole process of restoration that sought to bring back the old glory of those structures, even though this is a very difficult task. This is a sign of the exhibit that explains what the Hypostyle Hall is, and what efforts were undertaken to do a restoration of the structure.
As per the exhibit, the Hypostyle Hall measures 103 meters by 53 meters. As recently as 1899, a dozen columns in the Hypostyle Hall toppled over and a massive reconstruction work was started.
