Mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut

The entrance to Queen Hatshepsut's temple. This building dates from the 18th Dynasty about 3000 BC. It has been heavily restored to the point of almost being rebuilt.

A statue of Queen Hatshepsut with her false beard.


This is a relief of Tuthmosis III making offerings to the Sun God Ra-Harakhty. This is in the Chapel of Anubis in Hatshepusut's Temple.
