The Ptolemaic gate in Karnak 1864
This image is a late 19th-century photograph depicting the Ptolemaic Gateway at the Karnak Temple complex in Luxor, Egypt. The structure shown is the monumental entrance known as the Gateway of Ptolemy III Euergetes, which leads to the Temple of Khonsu. It was built during the Ptolemaic period, specifically around 246–221 BC, though it was part of a larger plan initiated earlier.
