This paper presents the most up to date discussion on the architecture of the temple of Millions of Years of Thutmose III, which has been investigated by the Spanish-Egyptian joint project since 2008. The fi rst archaeological works took place at the site at the end of the nineteenth century and during the fi rst decades of the twentieth century. Twelve seasons of the resumed research have brought, e.g. some completely new data concerning buildings related to the temple (i.e. the administrative building outside the southern enclosure wall, workshops north of the upper courtyard, and a house of the Ramesside priest called Khonsu at the northeast of the second courtyard), and allowed for the reconstruction of the course of the enclosure wall of the complex, as well as for some architectural restoration works. This paper also off ers an overview through some of the most important fi nds collected so far during our research (e.g. fragments of reliefs, stelae and statues, inscribed and decorated lintels, foundation deposit, stoppers, ostraca, graffi ti, and fragments of papyri) and presents the fi rst results of their analysis: how these materials allow us to better understand the history and administration of the temple as well as what data they provide concerning the priests and the rituals which took place there.

RESUMEN Los ejércitos de Seti y de Ramses

So far, five tombs have been discovered in the northwest corner of the site of the Temple of Millions of Years of Thutmose III. These tombs date from the end of the Third Intermediate Period to the Late Period. From the architectural point of view, they correspond to two historical moments, on which the oldest one has evidence of a destructive flooding. Tomb no. XXII is especially interesting because many mummy and goods were found in it. This discovery will provide new information on the Late Period Theban necropolis
