Synopsis
English summary: The Hathor shrine is one of the three divine shrines erected by Hatshepsut in her mortuary temple of Deir el-Bahari. Volume I concerns the vestibule, the bark shrine, and the sanctuary. It provides an analysis and interpretation of the monument and presents selected detailed photographs, overall photographs, and drawings. Thematic studies on representations of kings, gods, furniture and offerings, not to mention evocations of Senmout, complete this synthesis. A DVD enables the reader to enlarge the plates of the photographs and drawings.
