“Hatshepsut emulated his structure (and surpassed it, probably, or even quarried it for building materials) right next to it, centuries later.”
Hatshepsut, I have been in her temple structure in the Valley of the Kings (Luxor). Our guide said we could remember how to pronounce her name as Hat-Cheap-Suit. And I think I remember our guide saying that she was the only female ruler buried in the Valley at Luxor.
When we visited Tut’s tomb we had to leave our cameras in a common pile at the entrance. They said flash photography would degrade the colors in the hieroglyphics in the tomb. My camera was there waiting for me when we came out of the tomb.
And not just the flash — the exhaled vapor and the other gases also damage those paintings. Most of the tombs have been open to passersby since pharaonic times, and more than a few have been used as housing, hideouts, and places to stash loot. There’s a tug of war between those in Egypt who want them closed to visitors, and those who want to keep the money coming in.
