| The temple of Hatshepsut is a rock-cut tomb and mortuary temple built in the 15th century bc at Dayr al Baḩrī near Thebes. It was designed by the royal architect Senemut for the female pharaoh Hatshepsut. The temple consists of three colonnaded terraces connected by ramps. The surrounding area was planted with trees and flowers during Hatshepsut’s reign and for many years after. | ||||||
