Pillars in a row inside the Hypostyle Hall in the Karnak Temple

The Hypostyle Hall is one of the most magnificent parts of the Karnak temple (which in itself is a most wonderful monument, testimony to the construction efforts of pharaohs over the years). The Hypostyle Hall was built to cover an area of approximately 50,000 square feet, and even though the roof has almost totally fallen down, the place is indeed remarkable.
There are a total of 134 pillars, assigned in rows. In this photo, you can see many of the pillars, some of them having suffered wear and tear and damage from the elements over the years.
