Karnak Temple Complex is named as a filming location in the Wikipedia articles of 4 productions, in the section each entry below links back to. No Wikidata filming statement points here yet, so this page says plainly which kind of evidence it rests on.

“For example, the characters are shown visiting the temples at Abu Simbel and Karnak the same day, apparently with no intervening journey time; these temples are some 480 km apart.”

Filmed here, per Wikipedia

Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Karnak Temple Complex as somewhere it was shot, with no matching statement on Wikidata. Weaker evidence than a Wikidata statement, and labelled as what it is, each production’s own page links the exact section the claim comes from.

Set here, per Wikipedia

Games whose English Wikipedia article says they are set in Karnak Temple Complex, where Wikidata’s narrative-location statement stops at the country. Still a setting and not a shoot, and still a sentence rather than a statement: two steps from the strongest evidence on this atlas, and labelled at both.
