Although the inner reliefs, paintings, and inscriptions of her temple were left largely intact, some were defaced by Thutmose III and others by the later pharaoh Akhenaten (1353-1336 BCE). By the time of Akhenaten, Hatshepsut had been forgotten. Thutmose III had replaced her images with his own, buried her statues, and built his own mortuary temple at Deir el-Bahri in between Hatshepsut’s and Mentuhotep II’s. His temple is much smaller than either, but this was not a concern since he essentially took over Hatshepsut’s temple as his own Taken @Luxor, Egypt
