About Nefertiti: Egypt's Lost Pharaoh
December 12, 1912. In the ruins of Amarna, German archaeologist Ludwig Borchardt looks over documents when he is alerted of a major find. As the workers brushed away centuries of sand, Borchardt saw a limestone face staring back at him. It was the face of a queen whose name meant ‘A Beautiful Woman Has Come’: Queen Nefertiti. This fantastic discovery would recapture the public’s imagination and mysticism of Egypt and Nefertiti. However, the ancient Egyptians did not view their queen as beautiful but as an accomplice to her husband, the Heretic Pharaoh Akhenaten. Together, Nefertiti and Akhenaten overthrew centuries of tradition in favor of their god, the sun-disc the Aten. History says Nefertiti disappeared in 1340 BC; however, the sun queen lived long past Akhenaten’s death (1336 BC) and became the second female Pharaoh of the New Kingdom. In her short tenure as pharaoh, Nefertiti kickstarted Egypt’s return to normalcy, only to be erased at the tail end of the 18th Dynasty for her crimes against Maat. Still, in real life, Nefertiti was just as remarkable as her bust. Her story, like Akhenaten, would prove to be one of history’s greatest detective stories. In Nefertiti: Egypt’s Lost Pharaoh you’ll learn the answers to the following questions: Who was Nefertiti? What is the significance of her name? How did she become Pharaoh? Where are her tomb and mummy? What role did Egyptian Women serve? Who were Nefertiti’s parents? Was she the mother of Tutankhamun? How did she die? Who were the Female Pharaohs of Egypt? Why is she portrayed with abnormalities like Akhenaten? What role did she play in Akhenaten’s religious revolution? Why did Akhenaten choose her to be his co-regent? And many more! This book will help you understand the mystery and universal appeal behind Nefertiti and how she went from being one of Egypt’s strongest queens- not seen since the Golden Age of Osiris and Isis- to a lost pharaoh. Whether you have an interest in Egyptian history, mummies, Akhenaten and Tutankhamun, know someone who loves Egypt or want to know about the life of the regal Nefertiti, then Nefertiti: Egypt’s Lost Pharaohis the book for you!
