Location City -  Dayru l-Bahri
State -  AL-QURNA MOUNTAIN: WEST OF LUXOR
Country - Egypt   Egypt
About This is the major Temple of Queen Hatchepsut built at Deir-el-Bahari (Dayru l-Bahri) located at Al-Qurna mountain, near Thebes, by Senenmut, Architect, that became a key-Advisor and powerful official under her reign.

Hatchepsut named her temple "Djeser Djeseru", a hieroglyphic expression meaning "the Splendour of Splendours".
HATSCHEPSUT (Hatshepset) was known to be the first greatest woman ruler of all times, besides being a great STORY teller always present in the History of Human kind too... She was born 1503? b.C.E., reigned 1473-1458 b.C.E. .
True breed of Eighteenth Dynasty, New Kingdom, she was also known for: "woman Pharaoh (ruler) of Egypt".

ABOUT HATCHEPSUT, Pharaoh of Egypt:
Daughter of Thutmosis I and his chief Queen, Ahmose, HATCHEPSUT married her half-brother Thutmosis II. As his Chief Queen, she bore him one daughter, Neferure, one of three known offspring of Thutmosis II. On the death of Thutmosis II, Thutmosis III, a minor, became the Pharaoh.

--- GREATEST STORY TELLER ----
HATCHEPSUT became regent for Thutmosis III, assuming gradually the Royal Titles, powers and even the Ceremonial Clothing and beard of a male Pharaoh, CLAIMING LEGITIMACY through a Divine birth, even calling herself a "female Horus", twice times Godess!!!
Her greatest Nemesis were the priests of the God Amon (the Sun) who were determined not to end more than 3000 years of masculine Tradition.
When the priests demanded that she stepped aside and allow her brother Thutmosis II to rule as Pharaoh, Hatchepsut tried to discredit her half brother by announcing that Thutmosis II was the son of Mutnefert, a concubine, and therefore Royal blood was only passed on to her through her Divine conception... Clever, uhn?!?

--- SUBLIME VISION ----
She declared that the great God Amon appeared to her mother Ahmose "in a flood of Light and perfume" and by "Immaculate Conception" this magical Union produced a baby: herself!
She was doing something that was never done before by being a female Ruler. Ancient Egypt was a very conservative society with a deeply rooted culture and change was not accepted easily.
The Royal robes she wore had deep Spiritually meaning to the Egyptians and they needed to see their Pharaoh wearing these garments in his/her official role. She is also shown dressed as a woman (as a lady) in many of her statues and in documents and wall writings.
Hatchepsut only refered to herself as a female, and she called herself as "The Good God, Lady of The Two Lands, Daughter of Re, Hatchepsut".
After fighting her way to achieve Power, she held the Throne of the World's mightiest Empire for steady 34 years.
As Empress, she's been the 1st.woman in recorded History to challenge and destroy the Theory of Male Supremacy.

HATCHEPSUT was then eventually displaced by Thutmosis III, who seems to be behind the destruction of most of her statues and images left in Egypt.

In an elevated road leading to this magnificent Temple?s Halls, some coloured inscriptions depicting Queen Hatchepsut?s Holy Birth and her marine expedition on the Land of Punt (Eritrea) can be seen with live colors despite it's 5,000 years of age...
Her tomb lies unfinished at the Valley of KINGS!
http://womenshistory.about.com/od/hatshepsutbios/

Some basic questions about HATCHEPSUT, like whether SHE was also the Egyptian Princess who rescued MOSES and whether she was the QUEEN of SHEBA, as many other details are still being debated by Scholars BUT, truth is, it's impressive colossal beauty reigns up to this very day.
Dr. Leroy Vaughn explains that Hatchepsut's rule was one of the most prosperous times ever for the people of Egypt. They had work, home shelter and abundant food.
Memories of Hatchepsut persists for many centuries after her reign and the wonderful deeds of this Female Pharaoh in shape of stories still passes down from generation after to generation.

HATCHEPSUT's Temple is really worth visiting!!!

I happened to watch the famous Opera Aida being held there with this magnificent Temple in the background, it was overwhelming.

Dear Regina, I was born in Alexandria not Cairo although I am not living there at the time being. I know Giza by heart, I used to go with friends to rid horses there and every time I go to Alexandria from Cairo, the last thing you see are those Pyramids before driving to Alexandria. You must have been to Egypt recently because I did read you talking about Pizza Hut witch is not so old there. Regards.

Dearest Ozjan,
Thanks for taking the time off Your Life to visit my Portfolio... Glad You enjoyed the Egyptology information, as much as i did when learned and took precious Notes from the local English traslator that is a former Master in Ancient Egyptian History.
Yes, i have enjoyed the time spent in the land of the Pharaos and i would come back to visit only Hatchepsut Temple, Kom Ombo, Abu Simbel and Cairo Museum -- if i could... without the hassle of long hours in airports, tiring trip and a few sad episodes along the way: but guess it's all part of the whole 'package deal', once You travel on Your own to a distant foreign country! *wink* i'm happy i learned the Art of Belly Dancing with Saluah - a lovely teacher that came to the boat during the Nile Cruise... that was a highlight of the Trip! i had a great time, yes!!!
Thanks for asking, my Friend.

warmest regards,
Regina

You may also enjoy this acrylic canvas named 'El Khazneh'(the treasury) by Katie Miranda, that i found increadibly picturesque.
You might recognize this place from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade or the Sisters of Mercy video for Dominion.
