The temple was dedicated to the [[god]] [[Amun]], his wife [[Mut]], and their son [[Chons]]. The temple was built during the time of the [[New Kingdom of Egypt|New Kingdom]]. Because some of the stones were re-used, an older monument was probably there beforehand, during the [[12th dynasty]]. Some of the stones of the temple were later re-used to build [[Abu el-Haggag mosque]]. Together with the Temple at [[Karnak]], Luxor Temple is on the list of World Heritage Sites. Note that Luxor Temple is different from the [[necropolis]] of [[Hatshepsut]], located in [[Deir el-Bahari]], which is also near Luxor. {{religion-stub}} [[Category:Buildings and structures in Ancient Egypt]] [[Category:Temples]] [[Category:2nd millennium BC buildings and structures]] [[Category:Luxor Governorate]]
