It was founded in 1400 BC [1] The temple of Luxor was built for the worship of Amun Ruzogata death and their son Khonsu; the temples are also called the title of the Tibetan Triune (good triad).

The main buildings of the temple are those built by the kings Amenhotep III (1397-1360 BC) and Ramses II (1290-1223 BC) (which added to the temple the open courtyard, the chapel and the two mosques). King Thutmose III (1490-1436 BC) also established booths for visitors to the Holy Trinity, and Tutankhamun (1348-1337 BC) completed the inscriptions of the walls.

History of the temple construction
The Middle Kingdom Age: It is possible that in the same area where Amenhotep III had housed the temple remains of an ancient temple or shrine dating back to the Middle Kingdom and probably was in the twelfth Dynasty.
King Amenhotep III: Thanks to the construction of the temple in its current image on the eastern bank of the Nile on one axis from north to south to Amenhotep the third of the kings of the family of the eighteenth.
Queen Hatshepsut and King Tuthmosis the Third: they built a small building consisting of three booths dedicated to the Good Trinity and it is possible that King Ramses II has reconstructed these booths and recorded his name on them.
King Ramses II: King Ramses II of the 19th Dynasty added a large edifice and a spacious courtyard courtyard with two papyrus plaques.
Reasons for establishing the temple
Amenhotep III The establishment of this temple for the Trinity is probably good for two things: the first was to confirm the proportion of the god Amun himself, since his entitlement to the throne was not clear according to the Egyptian tradition, which states that the pharaoh must be the son of Pharaoh and princess of pure dynasty, His right to the throne by marrying the eldest daughter of the king (former). One of the two conditions did not apply to Amenhotep the Third. A mother who was not Egyptian and his wife was not a royal dynasty. Therefore, he confirmed his legitimacy to the throne by proving his relation to the god Amun himself and recording his sacred birth on the walls of the famous chamber known as the Chamber of Birth. The second is to please the priests of Amun so that Pharaoh would accept him legitimately for Egypt. Therefore, this temple was dedicated to the god Amun and a picture of his image, which is called "Amun Ra-Ka-Mutt-F" And the life cycle.
The name of the temple
Ibt Rust: The Egyptians called this temple "Ibt Rust" which may mean the southern harem (where the death of Amun's wife) or the southern cabin.

Temple worship
King Ramses II, the king of Ramses II, was the first to make two stone columns of granite, the western one being the Place de la Concorde in Paris since 1836, the height of 22.84 meters and weighing 220 tons. [5] The eastern obelisk, now in front of the North Tower, is 22.52 meters high It has a base of 2.51 meters and weighs 257 tons. It is distinguished by a group of prominent apes (four monkeys) who rejoiced at the sun at its sunrise and carved on its base. The names of King Ramses II and his dome were recorded on these inscriptions with hieroglyphic inscriptions. Perhaps the reason for the presence of the obelisk in front of the temple may be - next to being a symbol of the sun - to announce from afar of the place of the temple, especially that these obelisks with pointed tatters and was covered - most probably - copper layer gilded until it glows bright.
