The Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut is a temple complex built during the reign of Pharaoh Hatshepsut of the Eighteenth Dynasty [1]. Located opposite Luxor, it is considered a masterpiece of ancient architecture [1]. Its three massive terraces rise from the desert floor into the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari [1]. The temple's east-west axis received the barque of Amun-Re during the Beautiful Festival of the Valley [1].
