Pictured is a closeup view of the ram headed sphinxes along the North side of the Avenue of the Sphinxes photographed from the first pylon of the Karnak Temple in Luxor, Egypt. These sphinxes symbolize the god Amun and a small effigy of Rameses II, in the form of Osiris, stands between their front paws. The first pylon is the last to be built at Karnak and is the main entrance into the temple today. It was never completed and is undecorated. It was built by Nectanebo between 380 and 362 BC.
