Beyond the temenos wall to the north is the third of the three large temples: the precinct of Montu, god of war. Montu was the earlier falcon-headed god of Waset, before Amun gained such prominence. Several kings added to this area of the temple until there are now a number of chapels and shrines dedicated to various other gods, as a well as an avenue of human headed sphinxes to the north.

Moving west, past the shrines of the 'God's Wives of Amun', we come to an area where a number of structures are being renovated. The limestone shrine of Senwosret I, for example, is a beautiful airy structure that is sometimes called the "White Chapel". It is the oldest building in the the Karnak temple complex. Its carved square pillars hold images of Pharaoh making offerings to Amun in his ithyphallic form. Next to this is the white alabaster shrine of Amenhotep II, and more work is being done on parts of the Temple of Tehutimses IV.

One of the most recent structures to be refinished is the Red Chapel of Hatshepsut, which was the original sanctuary of Amun at the heart of the temple. It was dismantled by the Queen's step-son Tehutimses III (the Conqueror) and parts of the walls were used as filling in the third pylon of Amenhotep III. Recently, workers have recovered all the pieces and the temple stands again as you can see.
