my week and strong sides
One of my strong points, I could get alone almost with any one. I am very friendly,like to socialize and I think, I can understand and relate to people's problems. I like to work in the team, like to do my home work with my friends. On the other hand I am very talkative . I am getting in trouble in school because of that all the time. I do like to talk to people, and it is hard for me to stop, even during the class. Another good side of mine is that I am very fast. I can finish everything in no time , but because of that I leave everything for the last minute. 

So it looks to me that all my weak points are coming from my strong points . Am I too good, that is why I am a little bad ;) ? Yes and the last point- I absolutely do not know how to criticize myself :).

одно из моих достоинств- моё умение сходится с любыми людьми. и очень дружелюбный, люблю общаться и я думаю я умею понимать и сочувствовать их проблемам. Я люблю работать в команде, люблю делать домашку с друзьями. сдругой стороны я очень болтливый. у меня проблемы в школе из за эого. я люблю разговаривать с людьми, и мне тяжело остановится даже во время урока. другая моя положительная сторона я очень быстрый. я могу закончить любую работу за короткий срок, но из за этого я оставляю всё на последнюю минуту. мне кажется, во всех моих слабостях виноваты мои сильные стороны :). я слишком хороший, поэтому немного плохой. да и последняя слабость - я совсем не умею себя критиковать :)))

There are many examples of these great monuments and temples throughout Egypt from the pyramid complex at Giza in the north to the temple at Karnak in the south. Among these, the mortuary temple of Queen Hatshepsut (1479-1458 BCE) at Deir el-Bahri stands out as one of the most impressive.

The eldest daughter of King Thutmose I, Hatshepsut first assumed the role of queen regent during the 18th dynasty after the death of her husband, Thutmose II. Although her stepson, Thutmose III, eventually came of age, she adopted the title of pharaoh and ruled for more than two decades.

She was one of ancient Egypt's first female pharaohs.

Hatshepsut died in 1458 B.C.E. and was buried in the Valley of the Kings. Although she went to great lengths to be remembered after her death, Thutmose III carried out a sweeping campaign to destroy her legacy 20 years later. He crushed her statues, defaced her images, and erased her cartouche. Some say it was an act of vengeance, others believe it was to ensure a smooth succession of his own son to the throne. A third theory proposes that he didn't want the rule of kings—Thutmose I, II, and III—interrupted by a woman. Between 1923 and 1931, the Egyptian Expedition of the Metropolitan Museum of Art excavated fragments of her destroyed statues, which were dumped into pits in front of the temple.

Whatever the reason, Thutmose’s efforts were successful and Hatshepsut's pioneering reign was slowly forgotten. When scholars deciphered hieroglyphics in the early 19th century, they were finally able to read the inscriptions on her temple and piece together the story. Today, her legacy lives on in her surviving architectural achievements throughout Egypt.

The building was modeled after the mortuary temple of Mentuhotep II (c. 2061-2010 BCE), the great Theban prince who founded the 11th Dynasty and initiated the Middle Kingdom of Egypt (2040-1782 BCE). Mentuhotep II was considered a 'second Menes' by his contemporaries, a reference to the legendary king of the First Dynasty of Egypt, and he continued to be venerated highly throughout the rest of Egypt’s history. The temple of Mentuhotep II was built during his reign across the river from Thebes at Deir el-Bahri, the first structure to be raised there. It was a completely innovative concept in that it would serve as both tomb and temple.

Walking through the first courtyard (ground level), one could go directly through the archways on either side (which led down alleys to small ramps up to the second level) or stroll up the central ramp, whose entrance was flanked by statues of lions. On the second level, there were two reflecting pools and sphinxes lining the pathway to another ramp which brought a visitor up to the third level.

The temple is open year-round from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Hatshepsut’s temple is just one of many archaeological wonders that make up Ancient Thebes with its Necropolis, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
