Wikimedia Commons · CC0 1.0 Universal Public Domain Dedication · file 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.
