Ritual combat during a celebration honouring the goddess Hathor, painted relief in the Hathor shrine, on the middle terrace of the mortuary temple of Hatshepsut, built 15th century BC, at Deir el-Bahari in the Theban Necropolis, Thebes, Luxor, Egypt. Hathor, goddess of sky, women, love and fertility, also represents the hills of Deir el-Bahari and Hatshepsut presented herself as a reincarnation of the goddess. The temple consists of 3 terraces built into the cliffs, with the sanctuary of the barque of Amun-Re, Hathor shrine and Anubis shrine. The Theban Necropolis is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
