The author of the article, who on behalf of the State Enterprise — the Ateliers for Conservation of Cultural Property — has for 20 years directed the activity of the Polish-Egyptian Archaeological- Conservation Mission of Deir el Bahari, describes the state of preservation of the interior, discussing the research observations and the work done here by his predecessors E. Naville and C. Winlock. Following this, he describes the unexpected discovery of two hitherto unknown niches in the temple's sanctuary. He presents the subsequent undertakings connected with their exposure, analyzing the reasons that led to their concealment during the rule of Eurgetes II. He also presents the manner of conducting the restoration undertaken by the mission, whose purpose is to expose the newly discovered niches, with a simultaneous preservation of the legibility of their later concealment by Ptolemaic or secondarily used blocks.
