| Temple of Hatshepsut |
|
 |
Hatshepsut is on of
the few female pharaoes in Egypt. She was the daughter of
Tuthmosis I and when her brother whom she had married died, their
son Tuthmosis III was still young, so she was made regent. When
the son become older he went out to fight in the world, so she
was a pharaoh for 20 years, which were very prosperous time for
Egypt. The temple is situated very nicely against the
mountainwalls, and behind the top is the valley of the kings.
During the time the tempel has been destroyed, but today it is
definately one of the best preserved temples in the area, and
worth a visit. I present the general view of the temple here, and
some more details on the next page. Hope you will enjoy.
