The temple of millions of years of the Nineteenth Dynasty female pharaoh Tausret has long been thought to consist of little more than its foundations. A decade of excavation by the University of Arizona Egyptian Expedition has challenged that assumption and revealed evidence for far more advanced construction, which is significantly supplemented by the discovery of a block from the temple found and identified by the University of Chicago's Oriental Institute at Medinet Habu. This article presents the archaeological evidence for a functional and nearly complete temple for Tausret prior to its thorough destruction at the beginning of the Twentieth Dynasty
