Line 6: [[Image:Gempaaten talatats.jpg\|thumb\|right\|250px\|Reconstructed Talatats from the [[Gempaaten]].]] The blocks used in the [[Temple of Amenhotep IV]] in [[Karnak]] and the other abandoned Aten temples were reused by [[Horemheb]] and [[Ramesses II]] as filler material for pylons and as foundations for large buildings. The [[~~Precinct_of_Amon~~Precinct of Amon-Re#~~Great_Hypostyle_Hall~~Great Hypostyle Hall\|Great Hypostyle Hall]] at [[Karnak]] is built on thousands of these blocks, as is the Second Pylon.<ref>Bard, ''op.cit.'', p.391</ref> Tens of thousands of the talatat have been recovered. The decorated stones are being photographed and the scenes they depict are reconstructed.<ref>Bard, ''op.cit.'', pp.391f.</ref> ==Etymology== The term talatat was apparently used by the Egyptian workmen{{~~Clarifyme~~Clarify\|date=December 2008\|reason=Contemporary or ancient Egyptian workmen??}} and introduced into the language of archaeology by the Egyptologist H. Chevrier.<ref>Grimal, ''op.cit.'', p.227</ref> Some think it may be derived from Italian ''tagliata'', meaning cut masonry.<ref>Bard, ''op.cit.'', p.391</ref> == Gallery of images == Line 24: ==References== {{~~commons~~Commons category\|~~Category:~~Talatat}} * Dieter Arnold, ''The Encyclopaedia of Ancient Egyptian Architecture'', I.B.Tauris 2002 * Katheryn A.
