Hatshepsut, the queen who became pharaoh, built a magnificent temple at Deir al-Bahari. It is one of the most visited sites in Luxor today.
New Kingdom rulers built mortuary temples for themselves on the West Bank of the Nile, opposite the ancient city of Thebes. The temples functioned as the cult center of the ruler after their death.
Deir al-Bahari Temple consists of three levels, and this shot is from the uppermost level, with mummiform statues of Hatshepsut as Osiris decorating the pillars.
