The Hypostyle Hall
The hall is considered to be one of the world's greatest architectural masterpieces. Construction began during Ramesses I reign. He was the king who founded the Nineteenth Dynasty and was king for only one year. The work continued under Seti I (1306 - 1290 BC) Seti I also built the Temple of Abydos and many other temples. The hall was completed by Seti I's son, Ramesses II The effects that are produced inside the hall are much different than they were originally. The huge architraves are not above the capitals that tower above. Toward the center of the hall several architraves and windows that have stone latticework still remain.
