The Temple of Hatshepsut is an archaeological marvel dedicated to the Pharaoh Hatshepsut. Situated near the Valley of the Kings on the west bank of the Nile, the mortuary temple not only showcases the architecture of the New Kingdom, but also honors the gods of the afterlife and the Pharaoh alike. The most enchanting element of the temple is its axis alignment with the sun, allowing light to shine on various statues within the temple, and honor Amen Ra in a unique and magical way.
