Red Chapel

last update: 24.12.2007

Distribution of Blocks on the West and East Gate of the Sanctuary

The plan above shows the distribution of the recovered blocks across the inner wall of the west gate of the sanctuary after final reconstruction. The plan is based on the draft published by Burgos, F., Larché, F., La chapelle Rouge. Le sanctuaire de barque d'Hatshepsout. CFEEK, Paris 2006 and photos taken by the author.

Block 195 is undecorated and, therefore, will not be presented here.

Several blocks from the 8 registers above the socle (Soubassement; which forms the floor inside the chapel) have been recovered.
None of the grano-diorite blocks of the eastern gate has survived.
 

Clicking on a number or the corrected positions opens a separate page showing the corresponding block.
