Rare archaeological slab of Ramesses III found at Karnak Temple
A big archaeological slab dating back to the era of Ramesses III, the most famous king of the Dynasty 20 (The Modern State era) was found.
The slab shows Ramesses III while providing sacrifices and offerings to the god Amon Ra, the god of the country and the Egyptian empire at the time.
Behind him as shown in the slab, stands his famous wife goddess Amont while wearing her famous crown.
The Temple of Karnak is the largest Temple in the World! The complex contains a group of Temples such as the Great Temple of Amon Ra, The Temple of Khonso, The Ipt Temple, The Temple of Ptah, the Temple of Montho and the Temple of the God Osiris.
