Papyrus of Queen Nefertiti

Nefertiti means "the Beautiful one is Come". The bust of painted limestone was found by the German professor Borchardt in 1912 at Tel-El-Amarna, ancient Akhetaten. Nefertiti was the wife of King Akhenaten who ruled from 1379 to 1362 B.C. She was an influential Queen but she is principally remembered for her personal beauty and the lovely statue that was carved centuries ago.
