It was constructed and decorated primarily during the reigns of Amenophis III and Ramesses II. Amenophis III built the original stone Temple of Amun (known to the ancient Egyptians as Ipet-resyt) on a platform. He later added a court and laid the foundations for a colonnade, which was completed and largely decorated by Tutankhamun. Ramesses II added the first court and pylon. The sanctuary of the temple, in which the bark of Amun was placed, was rebuilt by Alexander the Great, with reliefs in typical early Ptolemaic style. Amenemope, the aspect of the god Amun worshipped at Luxor, was a local form of the fertility god, and his sanctuary is situated on an area of high ground taken to be the exact location of the primeval mound of creation. Luxor was also considered to be the birthplace of Amon-Re, the aspect of Amun worshipped at Karnak. Queen Hatshepsut was probably responsible for much of the theology of Luxor temple, especially its emphasis on the king as the physical offspring and earthly heir of Amun. The reliefs on the walls of the temple depict popular participation in the public processions held in the more profane areas (in front of the pylon and gateways and inside the open courts). The reliefs also show episodes from the cult performed in the restricted inner parts of the temple, prominently depicting the king's divine attributes and portraying his role in repulsing the forces of chaos and guaranteeing the maintenance of the principles of world order. The colonnade is the major monument from the reign of Tutankhamun, with its designs stressing the return to religious orthodoxy after Akhenaten's reign. In the 19th Dynasty, Sethos I completed the repairs to the defacements of Akhenaten and finished the decoration of the southern part of the colonnade. In front of the pylon, Ramesses II erected two red granite obelisks; one is still in situ, the other is now in the Place de la Concorde, Paris. In 1989 Egyptian archaeologists excavated a 'cachette' of 22 items of statuary (mostly New Kingdom) from beneath the floor of the court of Amenophis III.
