NO-AMON, AMON, THEBES: This prominent city in Egypt was at onetime the capital of Egypt. It is located on both banks of the Nile River about 330 miles south of Cairo. The Greeks called it Thebes and that is the name used today. Old Egyptian textbooks called it the City of Amon. It was the principle center of worship of the god Amon. At one time the god Amon was the most important god of the nation of Egypt. The temple of Amon at Karnak is considered to be the largest columnar structure ever built. Its massive columns measure twelve feet in diameter. (Nahum 3:7-10) (Jeremiah 46:25, 26) (Ezekiel 30:10, 14, 15) (Nahum 3:8 NSB) Are you better than Noamon, which sits by the streams of the Nile with water surrounding her? The sea was her defense. The water was her wall.
