Nefertiti: the Mummy Returns

Her image is one of the most recognizable in the world, and her painted limestone bust, with its graceful neck and perfectly proportioned face, is one of the most copied works of Ancient Egypt. Yet Queen Nefertiti remains a great mystery. Married to the pharaoh Akhenaten, Queen Nefertiti ruled with her husband over a troubled and divided Egypt between 1353 and 1335 BC. Together they pioneered a religious revolution and founded a new, but shortlived, capital - Amarna. For years, leading Egyptologists have debated over her origins, whether or not Nefertiti ever served as pharaoh after the death of her husband, and the identity of her mummy. Now, discover the real story behind this enigmatic and beautiful young Egyptian queen.
