hypostyle

They crossed the colonnade at the side of the hypostyle and went down two steps into the vast nave of the temple.

The central bay of this hypostyle is in the same line as the road I have been following since I left the hall of Thothmes.

In the hypostyle there is a little blue shade behind the monstrous pillars, but even that shade is dusty and hot.

In the Ramesseum there are three flights of steps between the first and second hypostyle hall.

The resemblance between the two temples is completed by the existence in both of a minor hypostyle hall behind the sanctuary.
