North court of the seventh pylon of the temple of Amon. Karnak, Egypt

"In 1903, while working in the north court of the seventh pylon of the Great Temple of Amun at Karnak, Georges Legrain made the sensational discovery of the so-called Karnak Cachette. In the course of the subsequent three years of excavations, over 900 stone statues and statuettes dating mainly from the 20th Dynasty to the Ptolemaic period emerged from this deep pit." [Wilkinson R., 2000: The Complete Temples of Ancient Egypt. Thames and Hudson]. "A village on East bank of the Nile in Upper Egypt; with Luxor, Karnak is on the site of ancient Thebes; location of temple of Amen, considered one of the finest examples of early New Kingdom religious architecture; also has many Middle Kingdom remains."
