The image I have decided to write about is the Ruins of Temple of Amun-Ra that was built between the years of 1579-10755 BCE in Karnak. There are many features that can link how this beautiful building was built to its specific period and culture in which it was built. One physical characteristic would be how the center roof was raised higher than it the roof on the sides. A raised center roof can be known as clerestory which was introduced by the Egyptians to let air ad light into the dark areas. Another physical characteristic would include the columns. There are 13 columns which take on two specific shapes that include both bud capitals and flower or kylix capitals. These both resemble buds and blooms of the lotus plants that represents Upper and Lower Egypt.
