| Since commoners in ancient Egypt were never buried near a royal personage, Senenmut's highly decorated burial chamber situated off to the side of Hatshepsut's stupendous memorial temple at Deir el-Bahri on the west bank of the Nile at Thebes lends credence to the speculation that the two had an intimate personal relationship. Among them are Hatshepsut's terraced temple at Deir el-Bahri and Rameses II's Ramesseum. One famous scene of an expedition to Punt adorns a wall of Hatshepsut's funerary temple in Deir el-Bahri located on the west bank of the Nile at Luxor. |
