It contains among other things the main courtyard and portico with monumental images of Queen Hatshepsut in the form of god Osiris and the sanctuary of the god Amon-Re, which belongs to the temple.
In autumn 2006 Polish archaeologists ran work on the reconstruction, egyptological analysis and documentation of the so-called Royal Cult Complex – one of the most important complexes where work is currently being run. . . .
