Amarna

江离

Amarna is the modern Arabic name for the site of the ancient Egyptian city of Akhetaten, capital of the country under the reign of Akhenaten(1353-1336 BCE). The site is officially known as Tell el-Amarna, Egypt's 18th Dynasty Pharaoh built its capital here and moved it from Thebes, so its name means "the land where Atun God Deze was taken". It is located in Upper Egypt, near Hermopolis and across the banks of the Nile.

Akhetaten was laid out over six miles on the east bank of the Nile between the shore and the cliffs above Assiut. The four main districts were the North City, Central City, Southern Suburbs, and Outskirts; none of these names were used to designate the locales in antiquity.The North City was constructed around the Northern Palace where guests were received and Aten was worshiped. The Central City was designed around the Great Temple of Aten and the Small Temple of Aten. This was the bureaucratic center of the city where the administrators worked and lived. The Southern Suburbs was the residential district for the wealthy elite and featured large estates and monuments. The Outskirts were inhabited by the peasant farmers who worked the fields and on the tombs of the necropol

阿玛纳是古埃及城市阿克哈塔滕的现代阿拉伯名字，是奥克亨那坦统治时期(公元前1353-1336年)的首都。该遗址的官方名称是泰尔·埃尔·阿玛纳。古埃及第十八王朝法老统治时期在此建都并由底比斯迁都于此，得名意为“阿吞神德泽所被之地”。该地位于上埃及，近于赫尔摩波利斯而横跨尼罗河两岸。

阿克哈塔滕位于尼罗河东岸六英里处，在海岸和阿西乌特上方的悬崖之间。四个主要区域是北城、中心城、南郊和郊区；这些名字在古代都没有被用来命名地方.北城围绕北宫而建，在那里接待客人，供奉阿坦神。中心城市是围绕着伟大的阿坦神庙和小阿坦神庙设计的。这是城市的行政中心，行政人员在这里工作和生活。南郊是富裕精英的居住区，拥有大型庄园和纪念碑。郊区居住着农民，他们在田地里，在墓地的坟墓上劳作.

Karnak
Karnak, also called Al-Karnak, village located in Al-Uqṣur muḥāfaẓah (governorate), Upper Egypt, which has given its name to the northern half of the ruins of Thebes on the east bank of the Nile River, including the ruins of the Great Temple of Amon. Karnak and other areas of ancient Thebes—including Luxor, the Valley of the Kings, and the Valley of the Queens—were collectively designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1979.

Karnak contains the northern group of the Theban city temples, called in ancient times Ipet-Isut, “Chosen of Places.”

The most striking feature of the temple at Karnak is the hypostyle hall, which occupies the space between the third and second pylons.
