A masterpiece of ancient architecture
Wide angle framing of Hatshepsut's monumental temple, surrounded by the impressive mountain cliffs of Deir el-Bahari. With the elevation on terraces connected by ramps and the wide pillared facades,
Djeser-djeseru “the Holy of Holies” was designed by the chief steward of Amun, Senenmut.
It was built during Hatshepsut’s joint rule with Thutmose III in fourteen to sixteen years, an amazing achievement for the royal workshops considering that many other temples and monuments (e.g. the Karnak obelisks), were erected at the same time.
