1. Rites before Amun at Karnak

   1463-01-01 BC · Red Chapel, Karnak Temple Complex, Luxor, Egypt

   

   At Karnak's Red Chapel, the ritual program records Hatshepsut entering Amun's shrine and performing sacred rites. The event is assigned approximately to her seventeenth regnal year, when construction of the chapel began. The date is approximate: it is calculated from the low chronology for Hatshepsut's reign and the source's statement that Red Chapel construction began in her seventeenth regnal year; the individual rite is not independently day-dated.

2. Burial in KV20

   1458-01-01 BC · KV20, East Valley of the Kings, Luxor, Egypt

   

   Hatshepsut's burial was probably retained in KV20, the tomb in the East Valley of the Kings adapted to accommodate both her and Thutmose I. This is a post-mortem physical-presence record. The burial's retention in KV20 is probable rather than certain; 1458 BC is the approximate year of Hatshepsut's death under the low chronology.
