Great Hypostyle Hall
The Great Hypostyle Hall lies behind the ruined courtyards of the Temple of Karnak. On its first playthrough there is not much to see apart from the courtyard pictured and a secondary pillared hall. However, further exploration throws light upon the huge decorated hall behind them.

Summary
When first seen, there is little to do but pick up some items, and explore the route through to the Sacred Lake. The game is a fairly linear progression of courtyards and corridors, with one area of pillared courtyard.
On a second return with the Hypostyle Key, a series of halls with huge pillars is revealed, with further chambers to be explored beneath. These include a puzzle involving the correct alignment of obelisks to generate electric current to reveal the Sun Disk.

Notes
A hypostyle hall is a room where pillars hold up a flat ceiling, often with a side hall supported by shorter pillars. Light is admitted through clerestory windows.
