This is a good account the royal family's life in Armana - as the author admits herself, there is simply not enough known facts about Nefertiti to call it a biography, therefore the book is mainly about the things we don't know. Given that this is one of the most famous and instantly recognizable women of all time it is strange to see that we know virtually nothing about her. This is the revised edition with some new insights, but we still only get a glimpse of the Egyptian queen.
"Unfortunately, due to the lack of other reliable records, this account of her life is mostly speculation, not established truth." "A thoughtful and well-researched re-creation of an extraordinary ancient personality."
For over a decade Nefertiti, wife of the heretic king Akhenaten, was the most influential woman in the Bronze Age world; a beautiful queen blessed by the sun-god, adored by her family and worshipped by her people. Her image and her name were celebrated throughout Egypt and her future seemed golden. Suddenly Nefertiti disappeared from the royal family, vanishing so completely that it was as if she had never been. No record survives to detail her death, no monument serves to mourn her passing and to this day her end remains an enigma - her body has never been found. Joyce Tyldesley here provides a detailed discussion of the life and times of Nefertiti, Egypt's sun queen, set against the background of the ephemeral Amarna court.
