The Rams Road is the road that connects the Luxor Temple with the Karnak Temple, and it used to start from the beach a spacious street, with statues of sphinxes that we find in the Karnak temples represented in the form of a sphinx with a ram's head, and the ram here symbolizes the god Amun, perhaps to protect the temple and highlight its axis. The ancient Egyptian called this road "WAt-nTr". Meaning the path of God, as for the path of rams in the temples of Karnak, it was known as “Ta-Mit-Hatt.” And translated by the Rams too. Along the 2,700 km road, there are 1,200 statues and the width of this road is 76 m.These statues were carved from a single block of sandstone with a cornice inscribed with the king’s name and the title and praise for him. It was erected on a stone base consisting of 4 courses of stone used due to the presence of some inscriptions. In two forms: the first: it takes the form of the body of a lion and the head of a human (the Sphinx) The second: it takes the form of the body of a ram and the head of a ram as a symbol of the machine symbols Amun Ra
