Cliff tomb of Hatshepsut
Luxor Governorate, Egypt
The cliff tomb of Hatshepsut, also known as tomb Wadi A-1, is the tomb quarried for her as the Great Royal Wife of Thutmose II, a pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty. It is located in Wady Sikkat Taqet Zaid, to the west of the Valley of the Kings near Luxor, Egypt. The tomb is cut into a slot in the vertical cliff face 70 metres (230 ft) above the valley floor. It is unfinished, with the cutting of the burial chamber never being completed. Although never used for a burial, it did contain a sarcophagus inscribed for Hatshepsut as Great Royal Wife. Originally found by local diggers, the tomb was later excavated by Howard Carter on behalf of the Earl of Carnarvon in 1916.
