by the time the eleventh dynasty theban kings had become rulers of all egypt, the area of karnak was already considered holy ground, some form of structure for the worship of amun probably existed before the reunification, and it seems to have been located somewhere within the karnak area. the unification of egypt brought amun (the tribal god of the region) increased power and wealth, and he was gradually merged with the sun god rê, to become amun-re. the white chapel of senusret i and the middle kingdom court are the earliest remains of buildings within the temple area. close to the sacred lake, excavations have located a planned settlement.
