Thebes - Mortuary Temple of Tuthmosis III

Some 550yd/500m northeast of the Ramesseum, within a modern enclosure wall is the Mortuary Temple of Tuthmosis III. The ancient enclosure walls are partly hewn from the rock and partly built of sundried brick. The interior is in a very dilapidated condition, but it is possible to identify remains of hypostyle halls, brick built rooms, etc. Many of the bricks bear the stamp of Tuthmosis III. Between the Ramesseum and this temple lay the mortuary temples of Amenophis II (18th Dynasty) and Siptah (19th Dynasty), the scanty remains of which were discovered by Flinders Petrie in 1896. To the northeast, near Qurna, are the remains of the Mortuary Temple of Amenophis I.
