The chief architect, Hemiunu, designed the pyramid’s interior with highly advanced features.

Situated within the Theban necropolis, this underground complex contains 63 tombs belonging to figures such as Tutankhamun, Hatshepsut, Seti I, Thutmose, Amenhotep, Ramses the Great, and others, reflecting the rich historical and archaeological heritage of that era.
The sacred temple of Hatshepsut is an impressive and elegant archaeological structure dating back to 1479 BC. It was built exclusively to commemorate the legacy of Queen Hatshepsut (1508-1458 BC), celebrating her accomplishments and innovations. This temple is among the best-preserved monuments, carved into the rocky cliffs of Deir El Bahari, and it also paid tribute to the blessings and protection of Amun.
The golden seated statues of Amenhotep III (1391–1353 BC), known as the Colossi of Memnon and constructed in 1350 BC, are among the most remarkable examples of New Kingdom architecture.
