Tuthmosis III's Temple of Amun at Deir el-Bahari

Only in 1961, while repairs and cleaning are being carried out between the temples of Hatshepsut and Mentuhotep II, the remains of a small temple (40 meters by 45 meters), which was built by Tuthmosis III, discovered in a small room balcony high between two of the most famous monuments in the West Bank of Luxor (good old). The temple was discovered by the Polish Center of the effects of the Mediterranean under the auspices of Kazimierz Michalowski, who is from the excavations at the site continued until 1967. Currently, the Egyptian-Polish archaeological mission under the auspices of Jadwiga Lipinska continue to do excavations at this temple.
This temple was built near the end of the reign of Thutmose III, possibly in the 43rd year in office, under the direction of the minister named Rekhmire, which number 100 is located in the grave, Sheikh Abdel Qurna on the West Bank. Note that this is the time when Thutmose III began the destruction of Hatshepsut, known by name and pictures in all parts of Egypt. We may have left incomplete at the death in 54 AD, and probably by his successor, Amenhotep II.
The Temple of Tuthmosis III was dedicated to Amun in the form of both Amun-Re, Amon Kamutef, and near the church built in honor of Hathor, too. Former name was (Amun) Djeseru sister, which means "horizon of the sacred." Find recent reports indicate that there may not have been the property of worship in the mortuary temple. However, it was Thutmose III built a temple not far from last in his personal capacity temple worship.
More than the temple is located above the level of the upper terrace of the temple of Hatshepsut and supported by the almost square platform partially cut in the rock and partly built of loose stones, with the support of the pillars of stone. It occupies a central place for the center of Valley, Tuthmosis III, while were not traditionally thought to have been part of an admirer of his father's wife, but this seems to refer to the temple architecture of the temple adjacent to it. Temple includes a system of ramps and terraces, and included a large hall with columns and 76 columns around the perimeter of the polygon and 12 massive columns closer to the center. These items, which was followed by the Chamber of Crafts of Ammon, and the inner sanctum.
Regardless of the source of inspiration for the architect of this temple was probably next to the Temple of Hatshepsut, it is estimated that at least partly, to the eclipse installation. Played an important role in the feast of the beautiful valley, and perhaps replace the installation of Hatshepsut, which may have been disabled for such events, Tuthmosis III, and final destination of the procession of the saint, and thus got on a boat Amen.
Excavations to reveal some of the temple bas very fine multi-colored engravings, including two who are now on display in Luxor Museum. One of the coolest patterns appear Tuthmosis III is the Atef crown.
Worship, and worship in the temple dynasty lasted until the 20th before being abandoned, possibly due to a landslide in the wake of the earthquake that badly damaged the buildings. Later to extract the first stone of its builders, and much later, during the Christian era, and used the cemetery to the monastery is located in the Temple of Hatshepsut. Today, only a small part of the west wall of survival, along with some cameras. This was mostly restored and drawing patterns, which was held in position through multiple blocks of colors.
