Deir el-Bahri
Deir el-Bahri is a complex of mortuary temples designed and implemented by
Senemut, royal stewart of Hatshepsut, to serve for her posthumous worship. It is located close to the entrance to the Valley of the Kings.
The focal point of this complex is the Djeser-Djeseru or "the Sublime of Sublimes", a colonnaded structure of perfect harmony nearly one thousand years before the Parthenon. Djeser-Djeseru sits atop a series of terraces that once were graced with gardens.
Djeser-Djeseru is built into a cliff face that rises sharply above it.
Djeser-Djeseru and the other buildings of the Deir el-Bahri complex are considered to be among the great buildings of the ancient world.
