Temple of Queen Hatshepsut

The Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, also known as the Djeser-Djeseru, is an ancient temple located on the west bank of the Nile River in Luxor, Egypt. Built in the 15th century BCE, the temple is dedicated to the sun god Amun and is considered one of the finest examples of classical Egyptian architecture.

Queen Hatshepsut was one of the few female pharaohs in ancient Egypt and ruled over the country for approximately 22 years. She was a prolific builder, and the temple was one of her greatest achievements. The temple was designed by Senemut, Hatshepsut’s chief architect, and it was constructed over a period of 20 years.

The temple is carved into a natural amphitheater and consists of three ramps-connected terraces. The first terrace features a colonnade of 16 columns with square piers, and a courtyard with a large statue of Hatshepsut. The second terrace contains the main sanctuary of the temple, which is dedicated to Amun and features a hypostyle hall with 24 columns. The third terrace is the highest and contains a small shrine dedicated to Hathor, the goddess of love and joy.
