This badly-destroyed temple w2as not discovered until the 1960s.

It had suffered from frequent rock falls from the hills above , and lay buried beneath rubblefor nearly three millennia .

It lies above and behind the temples of hatshepsut and mentuthetep and shares design features with both.

Pilgrims coming to pay homage to the goddess hathor wrote numerous graffiti on its walls the area is closed to tourists, and for structural reasons probably will remain closed.

but one hopes that the collection of stunningly beautiful carved and painted relief blocks recoverd in polish and Egyptian excavations and now stored at dayer al –bahari will one day be put on display .

a few of these blocks ,together with pieces from  mentuhetep's temple , can be seen in the luxor museum of ancient art
