Essex Egyptology GroupOur August meeting (Sunday 3rd, ONLINE via Zoom) will feature Dr Jacquelyn Williamson giving a talk on "Nefertiti's Sun Temple: Queenship and Death at Amarna".
Nefertiti's Sun Temple, called a "Sunshade of Re," is a fascinating puzzle. Although partially destroyed in antiquity, enough remains of its decoration to ask, and sometimes answer, new questions about the Amarna Period of ancient Egypt (1/3)

Rachel WrightMary Chubb pays tribute to the skill and efforts of the local labourers and excavators in several incidents in both of her books about excavations, "Nefertiti Lived Here" and "City In The Sand".

naladahcI was an odd child.
At 7 I had a major fascination with Akhenaten and the Amarna Period of Ancient Kemet (Egypt).
I've been slowing working the script for a video essay about Akhenaten and his bad craziness 3378 years ago. Maybe it'll be done sometime in Autumn.

πͺ· 6 Dec 1912 German Egyptologist #Borchardt found the #Nefertiti bust at #Amarna (near #Antinoopolis) and sent it to Berlin's #NeuesMuseum, where you can see it. Or can you?
