This beautiful temple, known as the "Holy of Holies," was constructed over 15 years on the golden rock hills of Deir El Bahari in 1479 BC. Built to honor the sun god Amun and immortalize the legacy of Queen Hatshepsut, one of the most successful pharaohs in ancient Egyptian history, it is the most preserved example of classical ancient Egyptian architecture.
These two grand statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III (1386 - 1349 BC) were built in 1350 BC to guard the entrance of his long-faded temple. The statues underwent numerous renovations and became known for their Vocal Phenomenon at dawn during the Greco-Roman period.
