Karnak and Tel el-Amarna（15）
    Karnak, Village, Upper Egypt. Its name has been given to the northern part of the ruins of Thebes on the Nile River’s eastern bank (the southern part is called Luxor). Among its many religious buildings stood the largest of all Egyptian temples, the Temple of Amon. Itself a complex of temples, added to and altered many times, it reflects the fluctuating fortunes of the Egyptian empire. There are no fewer than 10 pylons, separated by courts and halls. The most striking feature is the vast hypostyle hall commissioned by Ramses I (r. 1292–90 BC), with an area of some 54,000 sq ft (5,000 sq m). Twelve enormous columns, some 80 ft (24 m) high, raised the roofing slabs of the central aisle to produce a clerestory. Karnak is part of a UNESCO World Heritage site (designated 1979) centred on Thebes.

    Tel el-Amarna, Ancient city, Egypt. Located midway between Thebes and Memphis on the Nile River, it was built in the 14th century BC by the Egyptian king (pharaoh) Akhenaton, who moved his subjects there in order to found a new monotheistic religion. Artifacts discovered there in the 19th century included hundreds of cuneiform tablets. Archaeological finds of the late 20th century included sculptures and paintings.

Karnak，上埃及村庄。它的名字是尼罗河东岸底比斯废墟的北部（南部被称为Luxor）。在它的许多宗教建筑中，矗立着埃及寺庙中最大的一座，即Amon神庙。它本身就是一个寺庙的综合体，多次添加和改变，反映了埃及帝国不断变化的命运。有不少于10个塔楼，由法院和大厅隔开。最引人注目的特点是Ramses一世委托建造的大型低风格大厅。公元前1292-90年），面积约为54,000平方英尺（5,000平方米）。12根巨大的柱子，高约80英尺（24米），抬起中央过道的屋顶板，以建立一个天窗。Karnak是以Thebes为中心的联合国教科文组织世界遗产（1979年指定）的一部分。

Tel el-Amarna，古城，埃及。它位于尼罗河上的Thebes和Memphis之间，由埃及国王Akhenaton建于公元前14世纪，他将主体搬到那里，以建立一种新的一神教。19世纪在那里发现的文物包括数百块楔形文字片。20世纪末的考古发现包括雕塑和绘画。

The principal buildings of Akhetaton lay on either side of the Royal Road, the largest of them being the Great Temple of the Aton, primarily a series of walled courts leading to the completely open-air main sanctuary.

The introduction to these two buildings is detailed and vivid,which leaves me a deep impression.

The introduction is very detailed and special ,but it's lacking the interest and story about it.
