Description


The Karnak Temple Complex—usually simply called Karnak—comprises a vast conglomeration of ruined temples, chapels, pylons, and other buildings, notably the Great Temple of Amen. The Great Hypostyle Hall of Karnak, located within the Karnak temple complex, in the Precinct of Amon-Re, is one of the most visited monuments of Ancient Egypt. It is erroneously thought by most visitors to be Karnak in its entirety, but impressive as it is, it is only a part of the vast Karnak complex. The hall covers an area of 50,000 sq ft (5,000 m2). The roof, now fallen, was supported by 134 columns in 16 rows. Today’s rendering shows the roof intact and is, of course, idealized. I have tweaked the formula to show what is thought to be many of the Karnak complex component parts, but I stress that this is far from an accurate representation (nor have I intended to make it so). If I had a time machine, I would love to see this complex new and intact. It must have been an awesome sight. Even in the present day, with what little remains, one feels like an ant walking among pawns on a chessboard. Created in Ultra Fractal

Awesome image Stan. Your ability to create MB3D looking images with UF is amazing. I have yet to manage even close to this with UF. Your depiction of the ancient ruins is a powerful reminder about the grand scale the ancients built on. And to remember they did not have the giant cranes and such machines we take for granted in today's world of building construction. Have a great Sunday.
