The Temple of Hatshepsut (in ancient Egyptian Ḏsr-ḏsr-w meaning "Holy of Holies") is a mortuary temple built during the reign of Queen Hatshepsut of the Eighteenth Dynasty.[b] It is considered to be a masterpiece of ancient architecture. Its three massive terraces rise above the desert floor and into the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari. The temple's twin functions are identified by its axes: on its main east-west axis, the temple served to receive the barque of Amun-Re at the climax of the 'Beautiful Festival of the Valley', while on its north-south axis it represented the life cycle of the pharaoh from coronation to rebirth. At the edge of the desert, 1 km (0.62 mi) east, connected by a causeway lies the accompanying valley temple.
