| Summary |
This documentary uncovers the extraordinary story behind one of the ancient world's most iconic images. The blue-crowned statue of a beautiful woman, wearing the full regalia of a royal wife was officially dug out of the Amarna desert in 1912. Since that time, admirers have marvelled not only at its artistry, but at its remarkable preservation. This program traces the history of the bust, and the woman behind it. Egyptologists Jacquelyn Williamson and Barry Kemp reveal Queen Nefertiti as the most powerful woman that Egypt had known. They uncover a story of political, cultural and religious revolution.
