Has the famed Egyptian beauty, Queen Nefertiti, been found in a secret chamber deep in the Valley of the Kings? A Discovery Channel Quest expedition led by Dr. Joann Fletcher and a team of internationally renowned scientists from the University of York Mummy Research Team hopes to find out. If they find her, it will be one of the greatest archaeological discoveries since Nefertiti's stepson, King Tutankhamen, was discovered in 1922. The "Great Royal Wife" of the renegade Akhenaten, Nefertiti was a mother of six who helped lead a religious revolution that changed Egypt and the world forever. Yet after her death, her enemies destroyed all evidence of her life. Now, drawing on 13 years of research, Fletcher and her team bring Nefertiti's turbulent reign to life like never before with cutting-edge computer animations to recreate ancient Egypt's great temples, x-rays to reveal the telltale signs of foul play on her mummy, and forensic graphics to recreate the mummy's face.

Reviews

julian-mazur One of the worst Egyptian documentaries ever made. I am really surprised at Discovery Channel. First of all, no matter how much Afrocentrics desperately want it to be, the fact is Queen Nefertiti was a WHITE woman. NOT black. We know this because her poet husband Pharaoh Akhenaten wrote a poem dedicated to her in which he referred to Nefertiti as " FAIR OF FACE." Her world famous bust in the Berlin Museum and her unfinished bust in the Cairo Museum show CLEARLY that she was a white woman, despite the desperate denials of the Afrocentrics. This should have been made clear in this NEFERTITI RESURRECTED documentary. I am not surprised that Egyptologist Joanne Fletcher was banned from working in Egypt after helping produce this documentary fiasco ! But I do hope that the Director of the Supreme Council of Antiquities Dr, Zahi Hawass will allow her back to Egypt to work again soon.

WritergirlAD I watched this video in Western Civ. class today, and I thought it was very interesting. I learned a lot about Nefertiti, and her husband Akhenaton, and I believe that Joann Fletcher is right, and the mummy is in fact Nefertiti. The only thing that kind of bothered me was that the video repeatedly showed the same shots of the actress portraying Nefertiti, over and over and over again, especially this one shot of her opening her eyes-yes, just opening her eyes, and they showed it constantly. Other than that, I think it was a great video. Joann was a bit annoying with her "Wows!' and "its amazings" but I think she had reason to be excited, since there is so much evidence that the mummy is Nefertiti.

hellfighter20032002 We as people watch films for a number of reasons. We want to be entertained, we want to be informed, or we want to have something that stands as a reminder of something that we had like a connection we had with someone. This is not a perfect documentary that is for sure, it contains reacts to give you a picture of what it was like to be in the time period of Nefertiti that are at times a little over the top. However, for me it is a film that I fell strong about because of personal reasons. I always think about Egypt and that fact that it is in Afican but yet I have yet to see in a film a person of color play an Egyptian Queen or King. Also this documentary helped me learn who Nefertiti was. I had always seen sculptures of her around and pictures but I didn't know her name.

ERNEST714 I have seen this documentary three times and feel obliged to make a comment. It is not an in depth study of the subject. I think it fails to actually identify the place of Nefertiti in history and the absolute power this woman wielded in a time that women were subservient to men. What it does do is pique our interest, as it did mine, to do more research on a most interesting subject. I can remember as a youth, hearing the name, Nefertiti, not sure if in the context of school/history class, but the historical presentation of this documentary filled in the blank spots of a remarkable time in ancient history that has all but been lost. It is not a documentary on the order of Ken Burns, the number ONE producer/director of documentaries(THE WEST, MARK TWAIN) in the world but does offer a base line with which to begin additional research.
