Pictured above is a mortuary temple built for the female king, Hatshepsut, who ruled some 3,500 years ago. She was among her country’s most successful rulers, reigning for over 21 years. The temple is located at the base of towering cliffs at Deir el-Bahri in the Theban necropolis, not far from the Valley of the Kings.
After her death, Hatshepsut’s successor had her image and name stricken from most monuments and she was lost to history until modern times.
Can you name that country?
