who was the first king to start building the temple of karnak?
naram - sin
amenhotep began or continued a number of building projects at temple sites in upper egypt but most of the structures he built were later dismantled or obliterated by his successors. from written sources it is known that he commissioned the architect ineni to expand the temple of karnak. ineni's tomb biography indicates that he created a 20-cubit gate of limestone on the south side of karnak. he constructed a sacred barque chapel of amun out of alabaster and a copy of the white chapel of senusret iii. sculpted material from these structures has been recovered from the fill of amenhotep iii's third pylon allowing some of these structures to be rebuilt at karnak. amenhotep also built structures at karnak for his sed festival, a festival by which a pharaoh's strength and vigour was renewed after reigning 30 years, but it seems likely that he died before he could use them. a temple was constructed in nubia at saï, and he built temple structures in upper egypt at elephantine, kom ombo, abydos, and the temple of nekhbet. as far as is known amenhotep did not build anything of significance in lower egypt, like his father.
