Archeologists uncovered over 1,000 decorated stone blocks from the foundation of an 18th dynasty Pharaonic queen's valley temple in Luxor.
Archaeologists uncovered parts of Queen Hatshepsut's valley temple in Luxor and the nearby tomb of Queen Teti Sheri, grandmother of Amose I. Over 1,000 decorated stone blocks near Hatshepsut's temple were found by Egyptian Archaeologist Zahi Hawass, who has led excavations since 2022.
Queen Hatshepsut, one of ancient Egypt's remarkable female rulers, died around 1458 B.C. Reigning as pharaoh during the 18th Dynasty, she oversaw thriving trade, monumental architecture, and a period of peace and prosperity.
Centuries after her death, her legacy faced deliberate erasure, with her images and inscriptions systematically defaced, and her valley temple intentionally demolished.
Zahi Hawass recalls the decorated blocks as one of the most stunning and well-preserved scenes he has ever seen.
Hawass highlighted the discovery of Queen Teti Sheri's modest tomb, a rock-cut burial with red-painted chapel walls reflecting Egypt's struggles after the Hyksos expulsion. Teti Sheri, who died in Ahmose I's ninth year, played a vital role in stabilizing Egypt a century before Hatshepsut's rule. Ongoing excavations aim to uncover the historical significance of her life and burial.
