About this title

Synopsis

Nefertiti, one of the ancient world's most beautiful women, has long been a figure of mystery and legend. In this biography based on archaeological records, Philipp Vandenberg tears away the shrouds that have hidden the story of Egypt's fabled queen and reveals a life rich in excitement, intrigue, and tragedy. Using clues provided by scholars and Egyptologists, he gives us a new slant on Nefertiti's story. Nefertiti was a Mitannian princess whose father sold her to the Egyptian pharaoh Amunhotep III when she was fifteen years old. Widowed at seventeen, she married his son, Amunhotep IV, with whom she founded a monotheistic religion. Nefertiti and her pharaoh, who took the name of Akhenaten, ruled from a new, sacred city. She gave birth to six daughters, one of whom married an eleven-year-old boy who, as the pharaoh Tutankhamun, destroyed everything Nefertiti believed in. Nefertiti died in poverty and loneliness, but her influence on the politics, religion, and art of her time was immeasurable. This book captures the spirit of her Egypt. The court intrigues, the schemes to undermine her power, her love affairs, her children, her rivals, - all figure in this richly detailed story of a woman whose beauty is legendary, whose face is familiar to millions, but whose life has up to now been hidden from us. To open this book is to enter into the extraordinary world of one of history's most intriguing people, Nefertiti: queen, mother, philospher, theologian, lover - a fascinating woman.
