 In 1870, Antonio Beato, a photographer of Italian origin, settled and established a studio in Luxor, Upper Egypt. Between 1870 and 1900, he photographed the site and the region of the Karnak temples extensively and regularly.
 The Karnak temple complex is a collection of ruins of temples, chapels, pylons and other buildings located north of Thebes, now the city of Luxor, in Egypt, on the east bank of the Nile.
 The Karnak complex, rebuilt and developed over more than 2,000 years by the pharaohs, is the largest religious complex of all antiquity.
