This was a stunning temple built by Queen Hatshepsut - the one who had a Sphinx of herself at the Memphis site. She made herself Pharoah by killing off her husband and enlisting the aid of the High Priest and the Commander of the Military and one other person that I'm not remembering right now. Anyway, this is the Mortuary Temple she had built to prepare her body for interment in the Valley of the KINGS. Hmmm. She actually ruled for 33 years, too, so she was successful in her bid for power...
