The temple of Khonsu at Karnak: the decoration of the south gate of the pylon

Ver documento

Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:The inscriptions on the south gate of the pylon of the temple of Khonsu at Karnak have long remained unpublished despite their relevance. An epigraphical and architectural study of the scenes of the gate allows the verification of various building and decoration phases that were initiated during the pontificate/reign of Herihor and which continued during the reigns of Pinedjem I and, mainly, Alexander the Great. In this later period, much of the gate was dismantled and rebuilt, probably due to how poorly it had been maintained.
