These are the entrance pylons (walls)
at Karnak Temple - the largest temple complex ever built by humans. It
was originally part of the royal city of Thebes, and was constructed in
stages over a period of thirteen hundred years at the direction of many
pharaohs, including Ramses II and Hatshepsut. It has many courtyards
and shrines. Nobody ever considered it completed; building just kind
of stopped when the time of powerful pharaohs came to an end.
