A replica of the Karnak Kings List was installed in the Akhmenu Temple within the Karnak Temples yesterday.

Yesterday, the Karnak Temples in the city of Luxor in Egypt witnessed the installation of a replica of the Karnak Kings List, which is considered one of the most important sources of ancient history of Egypt and mentions the names of the great kings ofEgypt and their order, along with the lists of Abydos and Sakkara, the Palermo Stone, and the Turin Papyrus.

This comes within the framework of the keenness of the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, represented by the Supreme Council of Antiquities, to develop archaeological sites and museums in various Egyptian governorates to increase Egypt tours and improve the tourist experience, especially in conjunction with the start of the winter tourist season.

Dr. Mustafa Waziri, Secretary General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, explained that the reproduction of the Karnak Kings List, which was installed yesterday, is one of the important projects that have been worked on during the last period, given the historical importance of the list, which is currently on display in the Louvre Museum in the French capital, Paris, since it was moved in 1843 from the Temple of Akhmenu in Karnak, noting that the copy of this list was installed in the same place as the original in the Karnak Temple, and it is an exact model of the original list. It was made in the Ministry’s treasures factory for archaeological reproductions, and the work on copying it took approximately three months.

Dr. Mustafa Waziri pointed out that re-installing this copy from the list will greatly contribute to familiarizing visitors to the Karnak Temples during their Egypt day tours with ancient Egyptian history, the ancient Egyptian civilization, and the names of its great kings.

For his part, Dr. Fathi Yassin, Director General of Antiquities of Upper Egypt, said that the Karnak List was built by King Thutmose III to mention the names of his ancestors, as it contains 61 king names from the kings of ancient Egypt, beginning with the name of King Sneferu, founder of the Fourth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom and father of King Khufu, owner of the largest pyramid in Giza, and ending in the name of King Tuthmosis III of the Eighteenth Dynasty of the New Kingdom of Egypt.
