Luxor
Karnak Temple To build their shrines, pylons, chapels, and sanctuaries, many Pharaohs reused earlier structures in their core. In the Open Air Museum, located in the Northwest corner of the complex, there are reconstructions of some of these earlier structures, The Red Chapel of Hatsepsut and Thutmose III erected at the end of the co-regency ot Hatshepsut and Thutmose III. The monument is called the Red Chapel because it is build of blocks of red quartzite, though the foundation, doorframes and the cornice are in black diorite.
