EDITORS COMMENTS
The Mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, also known as Djeser-Djeseru or the 'Holy of Holies,' is a stunning ancient Egyptian architectural masterpiece located beneath the towering cliffs at Deir el Bahari on the west bank of the Nile River in Egypt. Circa 1500 BCE, this mortuary temple was built for the renowned female pharaoh, Hatshepsut, who ruled Egypt during the 18th Dynasty. Hatshepsut, one of Egypt's most successful pharaohs, reigned for over twenty years and is believed to have been one of the most powerful women in world history during her time. Her mortuary temple, dedicated to the god Amun-Ra, is a testament to her wealth, power, and religious devotion. The temple complex, featuring terraces, colonnades, and a series of shrines, is renowned for its unique design and its harmonious integration with the natural landscape. The temple's most iconic feature is its impressive colonnade, which is flanked by statues of Hatshepsut and her husband, Thutmose II, in a joint reign pose. The Mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut is an enduring symbol of ancient Egyptian civilization and its architectural achievements. Its intricate carvings, impressive structures, and stunning location continue to captivate visitors and scholars alike, offering a glimpse into the rich history and culture of this ancient civilization.
