Mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, 1908

Stereo-Travel Company stereograph from 1908 entitled: "Temple of Der el Barhi, Thebes, Egypt. Shows ruins of the Temple of Deir el-Bahri , on the west bank of the Nile, opposite Luxor, Egypt." The Mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, the Djeser-Djeseru (Holy of Holies), is located beneath the cliffs at Deir el Bahari on the west bank of the Nile near the Valley of the Kings in Egypt. The mortuary temple is dedicated to the sun god Amon-Ra and is located next to the mortuary temple of Mentuhotep II, which served both as an inspiration, and later, a quarry. Hatshepsut's temple is considered the closest Egypt came to Classical architecture. It marked a turning point in the architecture of Ancient Egypt, which forsook the megalithic geometry of the Old Kingdom for a temple which allowed for active worship, requiring the presence of participants to create the majesty.
