Deir el-Medina

Deir el-Medina (Workmen’s Village & Noble Tombs)

The Valley of the Queens is a site in Egypt, in which queens, princes, princesses, and other high-ranking officials were buried from roughly 1560 BC to 1130 BC. Pharaohs were buried in the Valley of the Kings. The Valley of the Queens was known anciently as Ta-Set-Neferu, which has a double meaning of "The Place of Beauty" and/or "the Place of the Royal Children".
The Valley of the Queens consists of the main wadi, which contains most of the tombs, along with the Valley of Prince Ahmose, the Valley of the Rope, the Valley of the Three Pits, and the Valley of the Dolmen. The main wadi contains 91 tombs and the subsidiary valleys add another 19 tombs. The burials in the subsidiary valleys all date to the 18th Dynasty.

The reason for choosing the Valley of the Queens as a burial site is not known. The close proximity to the workers' village of Deir el-Medina and the Valley of the Kings may have been a factor. Another consideration could have been the existence of a sacred grotto dedicated to Hathor at the entrance of the Valley. This grotto may have been associated with rejuvenation of the dead.

Valley of the Queens

Medinet Habu  is an archaeological locality situated near the foot of the Theban Hills on the West Bank of the River Nile opposite the modern city of Luxor, Egypt. Although other structures are located within the area and important discoveries have also been made at these sites, the location is today associated almost synonymously with the largest and best preserved site, the Mortuary Temple of Ramesses III. It was an important New Kingdom period temple structure in the West Bank of Luxor in Egypt. Aside from its size and architectural and artistic importance, the mortuary temple is probably best known as the source of inscribed reliefs depicting the advent and defeat of the "sea peoples" during the reign of Ramesses III (c. 1186–1155 BC), including the Battle of the Delta. Some of the building materials were re-used from earlier monuments including the destroyed mortuary temple of Tausret (c. 1191–1189 BC) the last known ruler and the final pharaoh of the Nineteenth Dynasty of Egypt.
The site of these temples included an inhabited human settlement since pharaonic times, which continued until the 9th century, by which time it was a Coptic center called Jeme. The last remnants of the former town were cleared during the excavations at the end of the 19th century.

The Temple of Hatshepsut is an ancient Egyptian temple located on the west bank of the Nile in Luxor. Built in the 15th century BC, it is one of the most impressive monuments from the New Kingdom period in Egypt's history.

The temple contains a pillared hall, a hypostyle hall, a chapel dedicated to Hathor, and a sanctuary at the rear of the complex. The temple is notable for its grand size and intricate detailing, with statues and carvings of deities throughout the complex. The Temple of Hatshepsut is an important archaeological site and popular tourist attraction, providing insight into ancient Egyptian culture and religion

The Colossal Colossi of Memnon are two colossal statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III dating back to 1350 BC. It is located on the west bank of Luxor, Egypt, and was originally intended to guard the entrance to the mortuary temple of Amenhotep III. Each statue is 60 feet high and is made of sandstone from quarries near Cairo. The Colossus of Memnon is famous for the hero Memnon, King of Ethiopia, who fought in the Trojan War.
