Caption: | Queen Hatshepsut Mortuary Temple Chapel rubbish plastic bags Burial Chamberon the Upper or central court was opened again in 2002 and makes the visit to this magificent temple almost complete except that entrance into the burial chamber itself is restricted. On either side of the court are specialist chambers dedicated to specific Gods - this one to the north also attracts wind blown plastic bags. This magnificent mortuary temple is located on the West Bank of the River Nile at Luxor at an area called Deir el-Bahri and built into the base of the cliffs of the Theban Hill behind which are branches of the Valley of the Kings. |
