The Red Chapel of Hatshepsut and Thutmose III, Open Air Museum, Karnak

The Red Chapel of Hatshepsut was a religious shrine in Ancient Egypt. The chapel was originally constructed as a bark chapel during the reign of Hatshepsut. She was the fifth pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty from approximately 1479 to 1458 BC. It was demolished in antiquity and its parts reused in other projects. However, following its rediscovery in modern time, the chapel was reconstructed in 1997 using its original materials.
