Abstract
The article in the Archaeology journal discusses the recent discovery of extensive remnants of a temple commissioned by the female pharaoh Hatshepsut in Deir el-Bahari. The ruins include decorated stone blocks with bas-reliefs and inscriptions, as well as limestone and quartzite tablets engraved with Hatshepsut's royal cartouches. The findings challenge the traditional narrative that Hatshepsut was killed by Thutmose III, as evidence suggests he maintained her cult in the temple after her death. The temple was likely destroyed later by officials seeking to erase the memory of Egypt's most powerful female ruler. [Extracted from the article]
