Inscriptions on the sides of the limestone cliffs next to the Hatshepsut mortuary temple near Luxor

Actually, these are not inscriptions or carvings, but cuts in the stone cliff. This is a section of the cliff next to the Hatshepsut mortuary temple, so could be that the stone was cut from the bottom of the cliff, or it was naturally eroded away, and as a result, the stone section showed this jagged and irregular cut. It looked good, and seems to have come out decently well on the photo.
