The Hypostyle Hall

As for me, I was totally impressed with the hall of lotus and papyrus columns. They were all built of reddish-brown sandstone semi-drums and they all have the reliefs of their builder, Seti I, and his son, Ramses II.

It's believed that about 100 persons can stand on each of the open-flower capitals!
