First Pylon and a Corridor of Sphinx Statues, Temple of Amun-Re, Karnak
Construction of the First Pylon began in 30th Dynasty, but was never totally completed. It is 113 m wide and 15 m thick. There are large numbers of mud bricks piled up against the inside of the pylon, and these give a clue as to how it was constructed.
