The Column is a common feature of the Egyptian temples. They are topped by a card representation of the papyrus lotuses and other plants found along the Nile River. Columns were decorated with reliefs detailing the deeds of the kings.
The temple of Luxor reveals the competitive nature of the Egyptian kings; some of the names of the pharaohs were scratched out and replaced with names of others. There are examples where the name of Tutankhamen was removed and replaced with the name of Horemheb. Other names found on the columns inside the temple at Luxor include Amenhotep III, Tutankhamen, Ramsses III, Seti I, Horemheb and Set.
