Senenmut was, without doubt, the most important man in Hatshepsut's life. Twenty-five statues of Senenmut have so far been discovered, more than almost any other non-royal individual in the history of ancient Egypt. When Neferure was still a child, Hatshepsut's architect Senmut was her tutor. The actual nature of his relationship with Hatshepsut is unknown, but he was one of her strongest supporters, probably even one of her top advisers. During his career, he gained over 40 titles, including "chief architect." He disappeared some time before the end of Hatshepsut's reign, and it is unknown what actually happened to him. The architect Senmut designed the temple with rows of colonnades that reflect vertical patterns displayed by the cliff backdrop. In this way the temple is a successful example of architectural harmony between man and nature. A ramp connects the three levels of the temple, and on either side of the lower end of the incline were T-shaped papyrus pools. On the ground level the ramp was in antiquity lined with 200 sandstone statues of sphinxes with Hatshepsut's head. The third level is decorated with 22 life size statues featuring Hatshepsut in the Osirde shape. It was a matter of fashion.
