The Hathor shrine is one of the three divine shrines erected by Hatsheput in her mortuary temple of Deir-el-Bahari. In this monument, the queen’s feminine nature allows Hatshepsut to establish a unique relationship with the goddess and to complete her funerary destiny in an exceptional manner: if Hatshepsut places herself under Hathor’s divine protection in a traditional pharaonic perspective, as her son Horus, holder of the legitimate royal power, she also appears as the daughter of Hathor. Nourished by the invigorating milk of the goddess who is herself daughter of Re and his uraeus, the queen, in turn, raises as the solar uraeus. Hatshepsut, as both king and queen, weaves a complex theological network that allows her to become both Horus, son of Re and sun disk, and Hathor-Maat, uraeus of this same disc. Volume II concerns the facade and the two hypostyle halls leading to the sanctuaries. It offers plates of photographs and drawings of all the preserved scenes and inscriptions. A booklet presents selected detailed photographs. A link enables the reader to download an interactive PDF and enlarge at will the plates.
