The Avenue of Sphinxes - Karnak
Here we see our intrepid tour group entering
the front of the Karnak temple complex.
On either side you can see ram-headed Sphinxes
lining the road. As previously mentioned, this avenue once ran
from here all the way down to Luxor, where it hooked up with
an avenue of human-headed Sphinxes.
There was also a small boulevard of Sphinxes
with mouse heads, but Disney made them take it down.
