Precinct of Montu, Egyptian temple in Karnak Temple Complex, Egypt.
The Temple of Montu includes a large court with columns, multiple sanctuaries, and walls covered with detailed hieroglyphic inscriptions depicting military campaigns.
The temple's construction began during the Middle Kingdom period and underwent major expansions by Amenhotep III and Ramesses II in the New Kingdom era.
The temple served as a center for ceremonies dedicated to Montu, the falcon-headed god of war who represented the military strength of ancient Thebes.
The Gateway of Ptolemy III remains the most visible structure of the temple precinct, which covers an area of 20,000 square meters.
The complex contains the only remaining temple dedicated to Ma'at, which functioned as a court for judging tomb robbers during Ramesses IX's reign.
