Khonsu was the son of Amon according to the myths of the Theban triad. His temple, south of the Temple of Amon, is in good condition. It is however not considered to be of the best artistic quality, but the upside is that you are quite likely to have the entire temple to yourself. The temple was built by the pharaohs Ramses 3 and 4. Many of its wall decorations show the priest Herihor, who became the effective ruler of Upper Egypt following the move of the relocation of the capital to northern Egypt. There are also some decorations showing a successor, the priest Pinundjem.
