The 54, square foot hall was originally under roof, supported by giant sandstone columns carved in the form of papyrus stalks. The roof caved in long ago, but most of the columns remain. Each measures nearly 33 feet in circumference and is carved top to bottom with inscriptions, battle scenes, religious symbols, and even the terms of a peace treaty. The most remarkable part of the columns, however, are the capitals, which are designed in the shape of papyrus flowers that are closed buds, opening, and fully blooming. The obelisk that is visible beyond the columns is one of two that were installed by Hatshepsut, a noble lady who became the fifth pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt.
Only one survived; it is said to be the tallest surviving ancient obelisk on Earth. This also applies outside the tombs because when you get a large group all wanting to take photo's the tour guides can't get you in and out and back on the tour bus in whistle stop time.
