Название: Hatshepsut Temple, Deir el Bahri Queen Hatshepsut's mortuary temple at Deir el Bahri is one of the most remarkable architectural achievements of ancient Egypt. Set into the base of the cliffs of the west bank opposite Luxor, the monument is as impressive for its setting as it is for its strikingly 'modern' design. The temple was built by Egypt's most celebrated female pharoah, Queen Hatshepsut (c1507-1458BC) in the early years of the 18th Dynasty. The site chosen adjoined the much earlier mortuary temple of Montuhotep II and far surpassed it in scope. The temple takes the form of three raised terraces with colonnades containing reliefs, extolling both the virtues of Hatshepsut and commemorating the trading routes she established into the horn of Africa in the land of Punt. The open courtyards before the temple were once alive with gardens, including exotic plants brought back to Egypt from the aforementioned expeditions to Punt. Today the temple has regained much of its former splendour through careful reconstruction work in the latter half of the 20th century. The topmost level (still under restoration on our last visit in 1992) is now open and dominated by several colossal figures of Hatshepsut in the form of Osiris (she is generally depicted with all the trappings and attire of a male pharoah, her face alone hinting at her feminine nature). Much of the statuary was destroyed under her successor Thutmosis III (who felt usurped by Hatshepsut in his younger years) and reconstructed from fragments. Whilst many later pharoahs built their own mortuary temples nearby, none came close to matching Hatshepsut's vision and it remains one of the most unique monuments of the ancient world.
