Thought I would try a different layout, anyway this lake/pond at one point was attached to the Nile and when the boats carrying the statues of the gods came to Karnak Temple to be worshiped it would come up here and be carried into the temple from here. Also this was used for the priests to purify themselves aka wash. It is really quite scummy though we were told that several times they have tried to clean it out.

Here is the obelisk that I told you had fallen over or was pushed over, you decide

Ok this is neat, that is a scarab on the top of the pedestal, the point is if you want to have good luck you walk around it once, if you want to become wealthy you walk around it twice and if you want to become pregnant you walk around it three times. Let me tell you not many if any walked around it three times!!

Small, medium and large, just an idea of the scale of these things

Last thing I expected to see at a major tourist spot! PUPPIES they were so cute and the mother was totally not concerned about all the attention, in fact she was at the other end of the courtyard. You can understand why they thrive here though, there were containers put down for water and in the 3 minutes I was there three people put water down for them.
