DEIR EL BAHRI

-
Innovative in that it was carved from the living rock, unlike traditional NK temples
-
Painted with scenes of accomplishment in her career - divine birth and coronation, expedition to Punt and transportation of obelisks
Paintings also have a religious agenda - three key aspects of Amun: ruler and king of the gods; solar and preserver god; creator god
-
Location directly opposite the Karnak Temple links Osiris' realm of the dead with Amun-Re's realm of the living
KARNAK
RED CHAPEL
In the centre of the vestibule is a diorite vat, most likely intended to support the sacred barque of Amun
-
-
Decoration is very rich: diorite stone, quartzite, engravings. The walls are divided into horizontal registers (every scene occupies the face of only one block).
First register: a procession of women and androgynous men, or fat and drooping breasts. All identified by a name over their head (names of the Nomes, Royal Theban foundations and geographical entities)
Second register: the enthronement of Hatshepsut plus her entry into the temple, the oracle of Amun confirming the divine choice of Hatshepsut as ruler of Egypt, the vow of enthronement, hatshepsut laying the first brick of the building
Third register: in the south was the Opet festival including the transportation of the sacred barque from Karnak to Luxor, in the north was the Beautiful Feast of the Valley including the transfer of the sacred barque to Hatshepsuts mortuary temple
Fourth register: Offerings to Amun and the ennead, consecration of the obelisks which Hatshepsut had between the 4th and 5th pylons, consecration of the sanctuary and the inauguration of the Queen
Fifth register: the return of the sacred barques at the time of Opet and Beautiful Feast of the Valley
Function: the primary role of the chapel was the shelter of the boat of Amun. Access to the internal altars of rest was reserved only for the priests who conducted the sacred rituals

She shows her devotion to the dynastic God Amun, thanking him for having expressly appointed her as the legitimate Pharaoh in front of all the people

OBELISKS
Like her father and her husband, it was an expectation that people added to the Karnak temple
At the beginning of reign, she added two massive obelisks at the eastern end of the temple

TOMBS
KV 20 ROYAL TOMB
It was probably the first royal tomb to be constructed in the valley. KV20 was the original burial place of Thutmose I
-
Was possible that Hatshepsut brought her father's body from his tomb (possibly KV 38) so they could be placed together.
Her tomb was discovered with two sarcophagi; one inscribed to her and one that was originally inscribed to her, but reinscribed for Thutmose I.
