EGYPT: Hatshepsut Temple (Deir el-Bahari) - Luxor
The Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut was built for pharaoh queen Hatshepsut, dedicated to the God Amun and Hatshepsut. While the statues and ornamentation have since been stolen or destroyed, the temple once was home to two statues of Osiris, a long avenue lined by sphinxes, as well as many sculptures of pharaoh Hatshepsut in different attitudes – standing, sitting, or kneeling.
Hatshepsut was the fifth pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt. She was the second historically-confirmed female pharaoh, the first being Sobekneferu. She came to the throne of Egypt in 1478 BC. Her rise to power was noteworthy as it required her to utilize her bloodline, education, and an understanding of religion. Her bloodline was impeccable as she was the daughter, sister, and wife of a king. Her understanding of religion allowed her to establish herself as the God’s Wife of Amen. Officially, she ruled jointly with Thutmose III, who had ascended to the throne the previous year as a child of about two years old. Hatshepsut was the chief wife of Thutmose II, Thutmose III’s father. She is generally regarded by Egyptologists as one of the most successful pharaohs, reigning longer than any other woman of an indigenous Egyptian dynasty.
The Hatshepsut Tempel is part of Deir el-Bahari, a complex of mortuary temples and tombes. The first mortuary temple built at the site was from Mentuhotep II of the Eleventh Dynasty, constructed during the 15th century BCE. The Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut was from the Eighteenth Dynasty. Thutmose III also built a mortuary temple complex here dedicated to Amun; however, not much is known about the temple.
The temples are located beneath the cliffs at Deir el-Bahari on the west bank of the Nile near the Valley of the Kings, opposite the city of Luxor, Egypt. It is a part of the Theban Necropolis.

Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut is located beneath the cliffs at Deir el Bahari
The Mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, the Djeser-Djeseru (Holy of Holies), is located beneath the cliffs at Deir el Bahari on the west bank of the Nile near the Valley of the Kings in Egypt. The mortuary temple is dedicated to the sun god Amon-Ra and is located next to the mortuary temple of Mentuhotep II, which served both as an inspiration, and later, a quarry. It is considered one of the incomparable monuments of ancient Egypt. The temple was the site of the massacre of 62 people, mostly tourists, by Islamist extremists that took place on 17 November 1997. Hatshepsut's chancellor, royal architect Senenmut oversaw construction. Although the adjacent, earlier mortuary temple of Mentuhotep was used as a model, the two structures are nevertheless significantly different in many ways. Hatshepsut's temple employs a lengthy, colonnaded terrace that deviates from the centralised structure of Mentuhotep’s model – an anomaly that may be caused by the decentralized location of her burial chamber.[1] There are three layered terraces reaching 97 feet tall. Each story is articulated by a double colonnade of square piers, with the exception of the northwest corner of the central terrace, which employs Proto Doric columns to house the chapel. These terraces are connected by long ramps which were once surrounded by gardens with foreign plants including frankincense and myrrh trees. The layering of Hatshepsut's temple corresponds with the classical Theban form, employingpylons, courts, hypostyle hall, sun court, chapel and sanctuary. The relief sculpture within Hatshepsut’s temple recites the tale of the divine birth of a female pharaoh – the first of its kind. The text and pictorial cycle also tell of an expedition to the Land of Punt, an exotic country on the Red Sea coast. While the statues and ornamentation have since been stolen or destroyed, the temple once was home to two statues of Osiris, a sphinx avenue as well as many sculptures of the Queen in different attitudes – standing, sitting, or kneeling. Many of these portraits were destroyed at the order of her stepson Thutmose III after her death. The main and axis of the temple is set to an azimuth of about 116½° and is aligned to the winter solstice sunrise, which in our modern era occurs around the 21st or 22 December each year. The sunlight penetrates through to the rear wall of the chapel, before moving to the right to highlight one of the Osiris statutes that stand on either side of the doorway to the 2nd chamber. A further subtlety to this main alignment is created by a light-box, which shows a block of sunlight that slowly moves from the central axis of the temple to first illuminate the god Amen-Ra to then shining on the kneeling figure of Thutmose III before finally illuminating the Nile god Hapi. Additionally, because of the heightened angle of the sun, around 41 days on either side of the solstice, sunlight is able to penetrate via a secondary light-box through to the innermost chamber. This inner-most chapel was renewed and expanded in the Ptolemaic era and has cult references to Imhotep the builder of Djoser's Step Pyramid andAmenhotep son of Hapu - the overseer of the works of Amenhotep III. Hatshepsut’s temple is considered the closest Egypt came to Classical architecture.[1] Representative of New Kingdom funerary architecture, it both aggrandizes the pharaoh and includes sanctuaries to honor the gods relevant to her afterlife.[5] This marks a turning point in the architecture of Ancient Egypt, which forsook the megalithic geometry of the Old Kingdom for a temple which allowed for active worship, requiring the presence of participants to create the majesty. The linear axiality of Hatshepsut’s temple is mirrored in the later New Kingdom temples. The architecture of the original temple has been considerably altered as a result of misguided reconstruction in the early twentieth century AD.

After we came out from the Alabaster shop, we were taken to Queen Hatshepsut's Temple, Deir-el-Bahri which is just outside Luxor and is behind the Valley of the Kings.
Our tour guide refused to give us a guided tour, because she said there was nothing there! So we went up on our own and found some interesting things such as The Polish and Egyptian Archaeological Society

EXPLORING QUEEN HATSHEPSUT'S TEMPLE IN LUXOR - Episode 30 - Egypt
Today we hired a taxi for the whole day and he took us to Queen Hatshepsut's temple and the incredible Colossi of Memnon.
Queen Hatshepsut's was a good experience as it still had evidence of the different colours and paintings used during the Ancient Egyptian era. It would have been incredibly colourful and extremely impressive back in it's former glory.
The Colossi of Memnon were insane. Solid 720 tonne granite blocks carved to create these monstrous beasts with evidence of extreme heat damage down the sides. It makes you wonder what kind of catastrophe could have caused the sheer damage to these monumental statues.
A big problem with ancient Egyptian history is that a lot of what's in the textbooks today has been completely debunked, but the textbooks and school syllabus have not been updated, so people are continuing to learn utter rubbish! Don't believe everything you've read in books about Ancient Egypt, some see for yourself.
There is more to come from Egypt. Next episode we go to Luxor to explore the Valley Of The Kings.
