Nefertiti and the lost dynasty!
For the first time, National Geographic Channel and Dr. Zahi
Hawass, Secretary General of Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities and
National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence, use a CT scan machine that can go
inside these two mummies to get scientific evidence that will establish whether
either could be Nefertiti — and if not, who they may be. In this one-hour
special, Nefertiti and the Lost Dynasty documents the high-tech forensic
investigation conducted by an international team dedicated to resolving the
fate of the famed queen. In the city of Amarna, there lived Egypt’s most famous
royal spouse, Nefertiti, and her beloved husband, Akhenaten, the pharaoh. They
were revolutionary leaders, reinventing Egyptian religion and building a new
capital city to honour the sun god. Also present at this time were Akhenaten’s
secondary wife, Kiya, who many scholars believe was the mother of King Tut, as
well as Akhenaten’s mother, the powerful Queen Tiye. It was a tangled set of
relationships that would result in the birth of the legendary King Tut and the
eventual disappearance of all the other key players. What happened to members
of Tut’s royal family, the lost dynasty of Amarna?
