Mentuhotep II also built a nice one at Deir el Bahari; Hatshepsut emulated his structure (and surpassed it, probably, or even quarried it for building materials) right next to it, centuries later.

“Hatshepsut emulated his structure (and surpassed it, probably, or even quarried it for building materials) right next to it, centuries later.”
Hatshepsut, I have been in her temple structure in the Valley of the Kings (Luxor). Our guide said we could remember how to pronounce her name as Hat-Cheap-Suit. And I think I remember our guide saying that she was the only female ruler buried in the Valley at Luxor.
When we visited Tut’s tomb we had to leave our cameras in a common pile at the entrance. They said flash photography would degrade the colors in the hieroglyphics in the tomb. My camera was there waiting for me when we came out of the tomb.
