This is a site in between valley of the Kings and Queens. The temple right behind me belongs to Queen Hatshepsut, who ruled for about 20 years (in peace) while her son (Thutmose III) was in the army. Her son then took over and expanded the empire further than any Pharaoh before him. He also built tons of monuments, mostly at Karnak.
