Started to be constructed around 1400 BCE by Pharaoh Amenophis 3,
the temples at Karnak and the Temple of Luxor were connected by an impressive avenue, flanked
with grand sphinxes on both sides. In ancient egypt, the entire avenue used to be more than 3
kilometers long, and had more than 2000 sphinxes all together.
