Hi Help Please,

I hope this helps Smile

Hatshepsut's beautiful temple was built at Deir el-Bahri an area located not far from the Valley of the Kings. It was designed by Senenmut the architect that Hatshepsut greatly favored during her reign.
She named the temple and grounnds "Djeser Djeseru", this is a hieroglyphic espression meaning, the Splendour of Splendours.

These sites will give you alot more information and pictures Smile

Hatshepsut ruled from 1473 - 1458 if I am not mistaken, so she would have built her temple ~ 3,500 years ago
