The amazing White Chapel of Senusret I, pharaoh of the 12th Dynasty in the Middle Kingdom (1971 BCE - 1926 BCE).  These are some of the most exquisite carvings in Egyptian history.  The chapel was reconstructed after its pieces were found in the third pylon in the Temple of Karnak by archaeologists in the late 1920s.  It is now in the Open Air Museum in Karnak.
