The Great Hypostyle Hall at the Temple of Amon in Karnak contains 134 massive papyrus columns.12

These columns are arranged such that 12 enormous pillars, standing nearly 80 feet (24 meters) high, support the central nave at a higher level than the rest of the hall, allowing light and air to enter through a clerestory.
