Egypt: Deir el-Bahri, Valley of the Kings, Luxor, A Feature Tour Egypt Story Her temple built in the area of Thebes, at modern Deir el-Bahri, stands as a beautiful monument to her reign. The site of Deir el-Bahri was traditionally connected with the goddess Hathor, chief deity of the Theban necropolis, and long sacred to the goddess. The portico on the second court was carved on its southern side with relief scenes of the exploits of her soldiers on the famous trading mission to Punt, and on the north side of this portico are depicted the birth scenes showing Hatshepsut’s divine conception as daughter of Amun himself. www.touregypt.net /featurestories/bahri.htm   (1446 words)

Slideshow Deir El-Bahri The existence of a pyramid which tops the temple is a point of contention among Egyptologists; if you go to Deir El-Bahri now, you certainly won't see any sight of one. A couple of years ago, I took a picture of a model in the Royal Ontario Museum which shows what it might have looked like in its heyday. One of Hatshepsut's claims to fame was to have sponsored an expedition to the far off land of Punt, and to have had the trip documented at her mortuary temple. www.geocities.com /ckirie/deir_el_bahri.htm   (789 words)

Egypt: Deir el-Bahri, Valley of the Kings, Luxor, A Feature Tour Egypt Story Lying directly across the Nile from the Great Temple of Amun at Karnak, the rock amphitheater of Deir el-Bahri provides a natural focal point of the west bank terrain and an inviting site for the temples of many rulers. Situated directly against the rock face of Deir el-Bahri’s great rock bay, the temple not only echoed the lines of the surrounding cliffs in its design, but it seems a natural extension of the rock faces. It was the first to be built in the great bay of Deir el-Bahri, just south of the tombs of his ancestors. www.touregypt.net /featurestories/bahri.htm   (789 words)

Dynasty 18 - Tuthmosis I, Tuthmosis II, Hatshepsut, Tuthmosis III Ahmose may have also provided him with another daughter by the name of Nefrubity who is depicted with Tuthmosis I and Ahmose in the temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahri. However, his remains were found in the cache, with others, at Deir el Bahri. He was responsible for a number of building projects within Egypt proper, where he left indications of structures at Elephantine, Armant, Ombos (near the late 17th to early 18th Dynasty palace center at Deir el-Ballas), el-Hiba, Memphis and probably at Edfu. www.crystalinks.com /dynasty18a.html   (789 words)

Traveling in Egypt Work had started on the mortuary temple at Deir el Bahri during the time of Thutmose II, and what may have been designed to be a twin mortuary temple for the king and his wife soon became primarily a temple for the queen. It may well be that after these deaths Thutmose I presented his daughter Hatshepsut to his court and announced that she was his heir; she left an inscription telling us of this event at Deir el Bahri. In neither instance was this introduction a true coregency (having two rulers, a senior and a junior partner, operating together), for then the monuments would record the double dates and names of the rulers, but both inscriptions do suggest this may have been the formula for declaring a royal heir. www.charlesbuntjer.com /egypt_01_1992_02_luxor_hatshepsut.html   (789 words)

The Hidden Moses Hatshepsut's royal wall paintings in her mortuary temple at Deir el Bahri were defaced, and her statues were destroyed, because of the hatred Tutmoses III had for her and Moses. At Deir El Bahri, there is a wall which depicts the birth of the future heir to the throne, one scene shows a baby boy in the arms of Hatshepsut-the infant Moses! In Serabit El-Khadim there was erected a stele in the 11th year of reign. www.aloha.net /~mikesch/moses.htm   (789 words)

Thebes, Egypt [Definition] Deir el-Bahri Deir el-Bahri [Arabic دير البحري dayr al-baḥrī (lit., “The Northern Monastery”)] is a complex of mortuary temples and tombs located on the west bank of the Nile, opposite the city of Luxor, Egypt. Deir al-Madinah Deir al-Madinah is the Arabic name of an Ancient Egyptian village that was home to the artisans who built the temples and tombs ordered by the pharaohs and other dignitaries during the New Kingdom period (18th to 20th dynasties).... The first monument built at the site was the mortuary temple of Mentuhotep II of the Eleventh dynasty. www.wikimirror.com /Thebes,_Egypt   (789 words)

Egyptian Pharaohs Gods and Goddesses Her reign mark was one of the most individual and experimental periods of Egyptian art, shown in the new forms of columns, like the Hathor-headed column, the new building designs, such as El Deir El Bahri temple, and the innovations introduced in the fields of engineering and decorations. When she built her magnificent temple at Deir el Bahari in Thebes she made reliefs of her divine birth as the daughter of Amon. Initially content to be shown behind her nephew's throne, she soon began her own programme of monumental construction, most notably the great mortuary temple at Deir al-Bahari, more recently the scene of a notorious massacre of foreign tourists. www.crystalinks.com /egypt2.html   (789 words)

THEBES - LoveToKnow Article on THEBES Northward and far back in the foot-hills is the Ptolemaic temple of Deir ci Medina, and beyond under the cliffs of Deir el Bahri the terrace temple of Queen Hatshepsut, the walls of which are adorned with scenes from her expedition to Puoni (Somaliland) in search of incense trees, and many other subjects. In the XXIst Dynasty, when tomb robberies were rife and most of their valuables had been stolen, the royal mummies were removed from place to place and at last deposited for safety in the tomb of Amenophis II. Perhaps no sculpture earlier than the XIIth Dynasty has survived there, but Senwosri I. dedicated statues to his predecessors of the Vth Dynasty who had probably showed their devotion to Ammon in a substantial manner, and Cheops of the IVth Dynasty is named in it. www.1911encyclopedia.org /T/TH/THEBES.htm   (390 words)

Mentuhotep II - OnlineEncyclopedia Little is known of this battle, but the unmummified remains of 60 soldiers killed in battle and interred at Deir el-Bahri (the site known as the " Tomb of the Warriors ") is considered by many Egyptologists to be evidence of the savagery of this battle. The ruler at Heracleopolis at the time, Merykara, died soon after this battle, and Mentuhotep is believed to have quickly put an end to the rival dynasty, reuniting ancient Egypt for the first time since Dynasty 6. Mentuhotep II was a pharaoh of Dynasty 11, the son of Intef III of Egypt and a minor queen called Iah. www.neareasternarchaeology.com /encyclopedia/index.php/Nebehepetre   (390 words)

Tutankhamen's mummy case shows the boy king in the guise of Osiris, god of the dead and king of the underworld, as well as giver of eternal life.

The_End_of_the_Empire.html Thus by year 12, the year of his death, we see that Psusennes III is involved in the burials at Deir el Bahri (his year 12 inscription). We were compelled to move both the Tanite 21st dynasty and the Theban dynasty of priest kings to positions far removed from their traditional chronological framework, with consequences far more significant than the identification of Piankhi we had set out to achieve. He was instead a priest/king belonging to a dynasty of priest/kings whom Egyptologists had mistakenly assigned to the 11th century, placing them alongside a Tanite dynasty of kings called the 21st, itself misplaced in history. www.kent.net /DisplacedDynasties/The_End_of_the_Empire.html   (390 words)

firstint.html One king of this Dynasty, Neb-hepet-Ra Montu-hotep, built a mortuary temple at Deir el-Bahri and according to inscriptions from Gebelein had successful campaigns against the Nubian, Libyans and Asiatics (probably nomadic tribes of the Eastern Delta). We suspect that Amenemhat, the founder of the 12th Egyptian Dynasty, was the vizier of the last king of the 11th Dynasty. Later the Metropolitan Museum under Winlock's leadership explored this Temple and the number of 11th Dynasty tombs in the region. www.bu.edu /anep/firstint.html   (390 words)

Deir el An 11th Dynasty shaft tomb at the southern end contained a cache of forty royal mummies from the Valley of the Kings. Nebhepetre Mentuhotep was the first ruler of the 11th Dynasty in the Middle Kingdom, and is often listed as I or II on modern dynastic king-lists.

Dynasty 18 - Tuthmosis I, Tuthmosis II, Hatshepsut, Tuthmosis III However, his remains were found in the cache, with others, at Deir el Bahri. He had married Ahmose, who may have been a sister of Amenhotep I and daughter of Ahmose I and Queen Ahmose Nefertary (who still held the title, 'God's Wife of Amun' during her grandson's rule) and thus legitimized his rule. It is possible that his grandson, Tuthmosis III had his grandfather's body removed from the tomb of his despised stepmother's burial and relocated it to KV 38. www.crystalinks.com /dynasty18a.html   (390 words)

Ramesses Nodjmet, a royal lady of the 21st Dynasty, was buried in the Deir el-Bahri cache, which is the most likely source for the papyrus. Obviously, the tomb of Ramesses I fell victim to this crime wave, evidenced by the missing grave goods and the damage to the sarcophagus, which had been violently pried open. Based on the evidence of the Tomb Robbery Papyri and the archaeological record, looting was rampant in the Valley of the Kings in the 20th Dynasty. carlos.emory.edu /RAMESSES/2_royalcache.html   (390 words)
