The Avenue of Sphinxes, Luxor.

The Avenue of Sphinxes, Luxor.

Links the temples of Karnak and Luxor was known as Ipet-Isut.
There is evidence that Queen Hatshepsut had been the first to build this processional road, with sphinxes in her own likeness. However, it was Amenhotep III, who first instituted the Sphinx lined avenue between the 10th pylon of Karnak temple and the precinct of Mut Temple and to the South-of Khonsu temple at Karnak. Then the project was stopped during the reign of Akhenaten but was continued by King Tutankhamun, The sphinxes have been reworked and repositioned many times by later kings.
