THE SEARCH FOR NEFERTITI: THE TRUE STORY OF A REMARKABLE DISCOVERY
Book ID/图书代码： 08145005B01918
English Summary/英文概要： Joann Fletcher, presenter of BBC2’s ’Ancient Egypt: Life and Death in the Valley of the Kings’ has written an enthralling account of Nefertiti, one of Egypt’s most compelling and mysterious figures. Wife of the controversial pharaoh Akhenaten, she lived through perhaps the most tumultuous period in the country’s long history.
The so-called Amarna Period has long held a fascination - not just for the enormous changes it brought to the religion, art and administration of Egypt, but for the many mysteries which surround it. Mysteries, that is, until now.
Leading Egyptologist Dr Joann Fletcher has taken a fresh eye to the evidence and arrived at one of the most dramatic discoveries in recent times. Working with a team of leading experts, she has identified a long-forgotten mummy as the body of a female pharaoh of the Amarna Period, whom she believes is Nefertiti herself. Lying for over three thousand years in an unused side chamber of Tomb KV.35 in the Valley of the Kings, it tells a story which will forever change the way in which we view Nefertiti - and indeed women throughout Egyptian history.
Now at last we see the full significance of her role as co-regent and later Pharaoh of Egypt, as well as understanding the astonishing luxury and decadence of her life in Amarna - a life she led as the country around her began to disintegrate.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： “美女”内费提提王妃是埃及最让人痴迷也是最神秘的人物之一。身为法老阿肯那顿的妻子，她所经历的年代正好是古埃及历史中最混沌的一段时期。
所谓阿马那时期一直以来都让人着迷，它的迷人之处，并不是因为在这段时期内埃及的宗教、艺术和行政事务发生了重大的变革，而是围绕着阿马那时期的种种让人费解的神秘故事。
埃及考古权威Joann Fletcher博士从全新地角度重新分析了证据，并做出了近代史上最具戏剧性的发现。Joann博士在一群考古专家的配合下，一起研究一具长久以来一直被大家所遗忘了的木乃伊，并确认她为阿马那时期的一位女法老。这具木乃伊在位于帝王谷的KV 35王室墓中的一个废弃的耳室里整整躺了三千多年，她会彻底改变我们对内费提提王妃的认识，以及整个埃及史上的各个时期的女性们。
最终，我们完全认识了这位曾经一度做过摄政王后又成为法老的女人在阿马那时期的重要地位。现在Joann博士为我们重现历史，让我们了解了阿马那时期的繁荣和奢侈生活以及内费提提王妃本人的颓废生活-----她所生活的时代里，埃及正处于分崩离析的边缘。
