• Resumen

  • This paper aims to unveil a previously unpublished part of the Royal Cult Complex at the Temple of Hatshepsut in Deir el-Bahari. The study examines the courtyard's state of preservation, spatial placement, constituent elements, the techniques used in its decoration, and the evolutionary changes within its decorative program both during Hatshepsut’s reign and after her death. The paper also delineates the multifaceted functions of the entrance segment of the Complex, spanning physical, ritual, and ideological dimensions.
