FIG. 64. THE GREAT TEMPLE OF KARNAK AND THE NILE VALLEY AT THEBES SEEN FROM AN AËROPLANE*

The area included in this view will be found bounded by two diverging dotted lines on the map of Thebes (p. 81). It will be seen that our view includes only a portion of the ancient city, which extended up and down both sides of the river. For description of Karnak, see note on opposite page.
