As you drive towards this temple you can see the old workers tombs and homes carved into the side of the hills. The temple itself has different levels of stairs n buildings leading upto the main complex. On the walls it shows how it imported trees via boats from other countries there a tree stump left in the courtyard of one of these trees. There a few statues at pillars on the main building a few was destroyed by tutmose The 3rd and tried to erase more of the art on the walls. Place is built towards a hill so impressive how the did it.
