PDF version of our translation and commentary on the interior wall scenes published in H. H. Nelson's The Great Hypostyle Hall

During the coming months and years we will continue to expand this content to include translations, high-resolution photographs and facsimile drawings of all the hundreds of reliefs and inscriptions that cover every part of the building including its walls, 134 giant sandstone columns and even its roof.

The old website address (http://cassian.memphis.edu/history/hypostyle/) will now automatically take visitors to the new site.

If you are a webmaster we encourage you to link to our new site.
