Remains of 2 statues inside the walls at the Queen Hatshepsut temple in Deir el Bahari in Egypt

This is a photo of the remains of 2 statues that were placed in alcoves in the front portion of a level at the Queen Hatshepsut temple in Egypt, at Deir el Bahari. These would have been statues of the Pharaoh, and in many cases, such statues were defaced due to wear or tear, or when a successor wanted to erase the memory of this Pharaoh.

View of paintings on the walls (the ceiling is bare though) inside the Hatshepsut mortuary temple in Egypt

The walls of Egyptian temples are typically very well decorated with carvings and paintings. In this photo, taken of the upper part of the walls and ceilings inside the Hatshepsut mortuary temple, you can see a number of paintings, on which the paint is still apparent after many thousands of years (maybe the dry weather has played a role in ensuring that the paint has not gone away).

The interlocking structure at the temple right next to the Sphinx in Giza

A photo of the interlocking structure used for the construction of the temple walls by the ancient Egyptians. The structure and the joints show that the blocks of alternate layers were joined at different points, thus giving more strength to the structure.
