Distribution of Blocks on the Inner North Side of the Sanctuary |
| The plan above shows the distribution of the recovered blocks across the inner north wall of the sanctuary after final reconstruction. The plan is based on the draft published by Burgos, F., Larché, F., La chapelle Rouge. Le sanctuaire de barque d'Hatshepsout. CFEEK, Paris 2006 and photos taken by the author. |
| The blocks of the west and east gate of the sanctuary are presented together on an own page. |
| Thematically several main points can be established: |
| Register 1, Frieze "All life, all stability, all happiness [nb anx, nb Dt, nb wAs]" |
| Register 2, Entry into the "Palace of Amun", speech to the Ennead |
| Register 3, Adoration of Amun, entry into the sanctuary, offerings to Amun |
| Register 4, Hatshepsut [offering] before Amun |
| Register 5, Hatshepsut [offering] before the barque of Amuns |
| Register 6, Hatshepsut [offering] before Amun |
| Register 7, Discourse of the Iunmutef-priest, Hatshepsut offers before Amun |
| Register 8, Thutmosis III. [offering] before Amun |
| Clicking on a number opens a separate page showing the corresponding block. |
