Hatshepsut's father, the 18th-Dynasty pharaoh Tuthmosis I, was the first to seek greater security for his mummified body by having a tomb dug in the Valley of Kings. Hatshepsut followed his example, but before and ever after her burial the appropriate ceremonies were to be held at her mortuary temple. Early Christians later used it as a monastery, which is why it is often known as Deir el Bahri, the Northern Monastery.Entrance Fees: (Please see at the bottom of this page)
