Temple of Queen Hatshepsut

"Temple of Queen Hatshepsut"

[link] This photo of the temple of Queen Hatshepsut was taken by my wife, Barbara. Unfortunately, I was unable to see this temple. An hour earlier, I had taken a serious fall onto my face and was rushed to an E.R. There is a huge bump on my forehead and I have a wonderful black-eye. My doc is going to give me a CT scan to make sure everything is alright.

The Valley of the Kings (Arabic: وادي الملوك Wadi Biban el-Muluk; "Gates of the King")[1] is a valley in Egypt where for a period of nearly 500 years from the 16th to 11th century BC, tombs were constructed for the kings and powerful nobles of the New Kingdom (the Eighteenth through Twentieth Dynasties of Ancient Egypt).[2][3] The valley stands on the west bank of the Nile, across from Thebes (modern Luxor), within the heart of the Theban Necropolis.[4] The wadi consists of two valleys, East Valley (where the majority of the royal tombs situated) and West Valley.
