temenos wall

Temenos wall of the temple in Abydos did not survive up to the present. There are, however, two mudbricks with the prenomen of Hatshepsut and a mudbrick with the Horus name of the queen found during the Pennsylvania-Yale Excavations at Abydos around the portal temple of Ramesses II[1] which indicate that the layout of the area was created during the reign of Hatshepsut.
