This volume comprises contributions by distinguished scholars, including Miroslaw Barwik, Nathalie Beaux, Robert Demarée, Edyta Kopp, Philippe Martinez, Frédéric Payraudeau, Malte Römer, Cynthia May Sheikholeslami, and Rogério Sousa. The articles explore historical sources from the Deir el-Bahari temples area from the early New Kingdom period, when the sanctuaries of Queen Hatshepsut and Thutmose III were constructed, to the Third Intermediate Period, when the area was converted into a burial ground for the priests of the Theban temples. The sources presented include textual documents, as well as iconographic and archaeological material related to building activities, temple decoration, cult practices and burial customs. <br />An extensive introduction, authored by the editors of the volume Edyta Kopp and Miroslaw Barwik, provides a comprehensive overview of the historical context within the described chronological framework.
