Temple of Hatshepsut - excellent architecture

Hatshepsut's mortuary temple is located below the cliff at Deir el Bahari on the west bank of the Nile River. The side of the mausoleum faces the city of Luxor, its back leans against the hard and vertical cliffs challenging in the middle of the desert. Hatshepsut was the ruler of Egypt around 1479-1458 BC. The temple was built to serve worship after her death. Hatshepsut Temple is pressed against a high cliff face, with 3 large staircases, reaching a height of 30 m. The mausoleum was ordered built by the Queen herself while she was alive, and was a work ahead of its time. Today, looking outside the mausoleum, everyone cannot help but admire the absolute harmony of the row of pillars. What's even greater is that it was built nearly 1,000 years before the Parthenon - the pride of the Greeks with similar architecture.
