What Archaeology Says

Karnak was built and expanded over 2,000 years by successive pharaohs from the Middle Kingdom through the Ptolemaic period (c. 2055 BC–30 BC). The famous 'helicopter hieroglyphs' at the Seti I temple are the result of palimpsest — later plaster and carvings layered over original texts, creating ambiguous overlapping shapes when the plaster erodes. Egyptologists have documented the construction process through administrative papyri, workers' marks, and quarry records.
