Hatshepsuts Mortuary Temple - Photo


I will add more as i go, but this is the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut on the West Bank of Luxor. It has been heavily reconstructed and work continues at the site. Even from this distance, this temple is beautiful. I can only wonder how it looked with trees lined outside, a sphinx avenue and complete with many statues.

Good links for this site include:
