Travelogue: By Country | By Date Egypt | March 2001  

 

Inside the Great Hypostyle Hall. In many other places, pillars are used for support and the point was to create a large open space. Here, the pillars themselves occupy a great deal of the space and block most sightlines. There is no "court" or space, merely a large room packed with enormous pillars. It is disorienting and stunning.
