82 .-- The pronaos of Edfu, as seen from the top of the eastern pylon.] We cannot say as much for the temple which the Pharaohs of the Twentieth Dynasty erected to the south of Karnak, in honour of the god Khonsu (fig.
78); but if the style is not irreproachable, the plan is nevertheless so clear, that one is tempted to accept it as the type of an Egyptian temple, in preference to others more elegant or majestic.

On analysis, it resolves itself into two parts separated by a thick wall (A, A).

In the centre of the lesser division is the Holy of Holies (B), open at both ends and isolated from the rest of the building by a surrounding passage (C) 10 feet in width.

To the right and left of this sanctuary are small dark chambers (D, D), and behind it is a hall of four columns (E), from which open seven other chambers (F, F).

Such was the house of the god, having no communication with the adjoining parts, except by two doors (G) in the southern wall (A, A).
