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. |
 | Egypt Luxor temple of Queen Hatshepsut world heritage site 2 SEW.jpg (Earth Views) " Notice the pyrimidal mountain above the temple. This mountain towers over the Valley of the Kings and the Valley of the Queens. This is not a coincidence. The tombs of the pharaohs are located beneath a pyramid without the bother of building one. |
