Years: 1425BCE - 1414BCE

Thutmose III had devoted so much energy to expanding Karnak that Amenhotep's building projects are largely focused on enlarging smaller temples all over Egypt.

He begins construction at Luxor in 1417 BCE on the second great Theban temple complex, built, like the temple at Karnak, on the east side of the Nile.

Contemporary Egyptians know Luxor as Waset, or No, meaning "the city."
