Summary
[edit]DescriptionHypostyle hall of Amenhotep III (Hall of Appearance) (14075103728).jpg |
At the back of the Great Sun Court, at its southern end, a hypostyle hall is blended in almost imperceptibly with the sun court. It is described as a Hall of Appearance (wsekhet kha'it). Though incorporated into the Sun Court, it was originally a sort of vestibule for the oldest part of the temple, being the first inner room of the temple proper. This type of plan is similar to the much earlier two-step plan of a vestibule connected by a pillared court found in Old Kingdom funerary temples, such as that of Khufu. It consists of four rows of eight bundle papyrus columns (32 total columns) that once supported a now non-existent roof. Some of the columns are inscribed with the names of various usurpers, including Ramesses II, IV and VI. Through the center of these columns runs an aisle. On the walls of this chamber Amenhotep III is depicted before the gods of Thebes ceding the temple above a plinth of figures personifying the Egyptian nomes. The east wall of the hall is decorated with scenes of the king offering milk, ointments, birds and fish to Amun and Amenet, and other scenes of the king and his ka driving calves and consecrating boxes of cloth. www.touregypt.net |
