Earth Views: Egypt-Luxor-temple-

Hatshepsut's temple has been reconstructed. It had been deliberately destroyed by her successor, Tuthmosis III. She actually ruled Egypt as regent for 22 years when her husband died and Tuthmosis III (born to another woman) was a child too young to rule. It wasn't until about 20 years after Hatshepsut's reign ended that Tuthmosis III destroyed her temple.
