It measures 20 meters (66 ft) in height, 73 meters (240 ft) in length, and 19 meters (62 ft) in width. This iconic monument symbolizes grandeur and inspiration, as evidenced by the Dream Stele of Thutmose IV, erected between its paws in 1401 BC.
The impressive Valley Temple is a remarkable archaeological site designed for the sacred mummification rituals of all members of the 4th Dynasty during the Old Kingdom period (2686 - 2134 BC). This well-preserved monument served as the central location for the performance of the opening of the mouth ceremony.
