A. Sutherland \u00a0– AncientPages.com<\/strong> – Deir el-Bahri, a sacred resting place for the pharaohs, is a mountain valley on the western bank of the Nile River near Thebes, an archaeological site of tombs and temples.<\/p>\n In ancient times, Deir El-Bahri (Bahari), meaning “Northern Monastery,” was essential to Theban’s royal necropolis. It is located on the West Bank of the Nile opposite the famous Karnak, a large rock formation formed by the cliff of the plateau of the Libyan desert. Many prominent royal figures of ancient Egypt found a resting place in the sacred area of Deir el-Bahari.<\/p>\n The area has a perfect geographical location, with a flat, plain landscape that rises gradually westwards from the Nile before suddenly ending in a steep rock wall. The wall surrounds the valley in a U-shape. At the bottom of this quiet valley, resting against the mountain wall, are the three most magnificent royal temples side by side:\u00a0Mentuhotep II’s tomb and temple, dating back to approximately 1959 BC,\u00a0and Hatshepsut’s\u00a0famous mortuary temple, built on three terraces with inclined ramps.<\/p>\n This is a preview of our premium article available only to members of Ancient Pages.<\/strong><\/p>\n Become a\u00a0member<\/strong>\u00a0<\/a>to read more –\u00a0\u00a0Click here<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n If you are\u00a0already a member<\/strong>\u00a0and have logged in to your account, you can\u00a0access the article here<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n See also:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Mysterious Black Pyramid Of Amenemhat III \u2013 Secret Underground Chambers And Lost Ancient Treasures<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Lost Ancient Sahara Civilization Buried Beneath The Sand \u2013 New Clues And Some Surprises<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Rare And Unexpected Celestial Phenomenon May Solve A Mysterious Pharaoh\u2019s Ancient Secret<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n More Premium Articles<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n![\"Deir](\"https:\/\/www.ancientpages.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/pr-deirelbahri.jpg\")
