talatat
Talatat are stone blocks of standardized size (ca. 27 by 27 by 54 cm, corresponding to ½ by ½ by 1 ancient Egyptian cubits) used during the reign of Akhenaten in the building of the Aton temples at Karnak and Akhetaten (modern Amarna). The standardized size and their small weight made construction more efficient〔Arnold, ''op.cit.'', p.238〕 Their use may have begun in the second year of Akhenaten's reign.〔Bard, ''op.cit.'', p.392〕 After the Amarna Period talatat construction was abandoned, apparently not having withstood the test of time.〔Shaw, ''op.cit.'', p.274〕
==Amenhotep IV talatats==
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 Great Hypostyle Hall at Karnak is built on thousands of these blocks, as is the Second Pylon.〔Bard, ''op.cit.'', p.391〕
Tens of thousands of the talatat have been recovered. The decorated stones are being photographed and the scenes they depict are reconstructed.〔Bard, ''op.cit.'', pp.391f.〕
