Summary:The antiquity of the Karnak temple and the genesis of the worship of Amon have long been debated with uncertain conclusions, for lack of determining clues, but it is now possible to propose new hypotheses on the development of the site and the boom of the cult of Amon. The Nile experienced significant changes in its course and it appeared that the Karnak site, originally located on the left bank, became an uninhabited island during the Old Kingdom. Under the 11th dynasty, after the island was joined to the right bank, the new Theban dynasts took advantage of the land to build a sanctuary dedicated to Amon-Ré, guaranteeing their legitimacy. This divinity, although new, was not elaborated ex nihilo: it synthesizes the Memphito-Heliopolitan concept of Imn, "hidden", the solar dimension borrowed from Re-Atum of Heliopolis, the iconography and the coptite liturgies of the god Min. Amon-Re thus became, for those rulers from the South, the god whom they had revealed and whom previous kings had not been able to recognize.--Amazon.com
