"Palace-like city". The right bank of Thebes, also known as the east bank, was the political and religious center of the time, and the left bank of Thebes, also called the west bank, was the resting place of the pharaohs after their deaths, so this is not only the capital of the pharaohs during their lifetimes, but also the underworld after the pharaohs died.
