The temple was was built under the direction architect Senemut, for Queen Hatsheput. In addition to being for her burial chamber, it was dedicated to the sun god Amun-Ra the "King of Gods", the supreme deity in ancient Egypt. The Romans sacked Egypt and realizing Amun's power and influence, incorporated Amun into their own supreme god--Zeus, to become one.
