From Publishers Weekly
Oftentimes, the best scholarship uses the investigation of one thing (such as a historical episode or a scientific anomaly) to speak to wider human and cultural truths. FletcherÂ’s study of the life of the legendary queen Nefertiti is scholarship in just this sense. A learned and intensely personal book, it spans FletcherÂ’s near-lifelong involvement with the study of Egyptian culture, from her first trip to Egypt as a teenager in 1981 to her most recent excavation in February 2003. Along the way, she provides the reader with a concise introduction to ancient Egyptian history as well as a rough guide to the shifting ideological landscape of professional Egyptology over the last 200 years. Colored by patriarchal assumptions and the personal ambitions of the men who first excavated the desert, Egyptology tends to focus on the most powerful men of ancient Egypt: kings ruling their country (and families) with unquestioned authority. This book is in part an attempt to correct such biases and challenge reigning assumptions about gender roles in ancient Egypt. Fletcher specializes in the study of "everyday" objects like hair, jewelry and clothing that are often passed over or discarded by Egyptologists. The sections of the book devoted to them offer compelling revelations about the identities of anonymous royal figures and the complex relations among and within dynasties. Ultimately, whether or not readers agree with the hypothesis Fletcher draws from her thrilling examination of the so-called Younger Woman (who she believes is Nefertiti) interred in tomb KV.35 in the Valley of Kings is irrelevant; this book is an inspiring record of a life devoted to the highest scholarship. 24 pages of color photos.

I found this book absolutely wonderful. I am 73 years old, and ever since I was a little girl I have been fascinated by a group of ancient people whose pictures portrayed them in wonderful clothing, beautiful jewelry and makeup, shown facing forward, but with their feet and faces turned in profile. I saw the Discovery special in which Dr. Fletcher opened KV55 and studied the three mummies who have recently been moved to the Cairo Museum. She was, and still is, convinced that the younger mummy is that of Nefertiti. However, Zahi Hawass, the director of antiquities in Egypt, is not. He believes that it may be Kiya, who supposedly is the mother of Tut and who may have died in childbirth. However, Kiya was a very young woman, while the one in the tomb that Dr. Fletcher is interested in is seemingly mid to late 30's and maybe into her 40's. Dead giveaway is the arm that was wrentched off the mummy. Kiya was not a royal, only a secondary wife, and as such she would not have been buried in the royal position, with the arm bent at the elbow and the fist up by the opposite shoulder. In spite of all the above, I do not believe Nefertii's remains may ever be found. This was a very traumatic time for Egypt, and even though Ankhenaten has been identified, his mummy is in very bad shape and the face and name on his coffin have been scourged out. Nefer's mummy may no longer even exist, or be so well hidden that it may someday be discovered only by accident. By the way, I heard it said that the most dangerous place to be on this planet is between Dr. Hawass and a television camera! And, as far as hair and wigs go, Dr. Fletcher has carved a niche for herself with her amazing studies and discoveries about the uses of wigs and hair styles and even dying and bleaching that the Egyptians used in their everyday lives. Again, this was a wonderful read and I highly recommend it to anyone who is even remotely interested in Egyptology.
This is an absolutely fabulous book. You feel you know the answer to the question - who is this woman? - but you are compelled to take each twisting step with the author until the evidence supports the conclusion that this is the long-lost Nefertiti! The author's skills in presenting this search and its mysteries is a perfect match to the subject. The fact that I have been interested in egyptology since childhood and actually walked through the Valley of the Kings and been inside many of its tombs and chambers only adds to the ability to visualize and understand the writer's detailed descriptions put in front me. I am certain anyone would find this book enjoyable and I shall look for more of her books.
interesting in parts, but also bogged down with minutiae repeatedly. Annoying that after the author goes into great detail about a particular item, she does it again a few chapters later. The author does this SEVERAL times. I couldn't decide if she was not organized enough to realize that she had already described the artifact, didn't trust us to remember that she had, or just wanted to make the book longer.
Amazing story of this search for the powerful Queen Nefertiti. Subsequent research recently has shown this person to have been Akhenatens sister and King Tutankamen's mother. This historic change in Egypt's culture is very interesting.
Would have like some photos. Figured were referenced but not found. Would recommend to all interested in ancient Egyptian s
Dr. Fletcher is an excellent writer and this book is well, worth reading. An incredibly, intriguing story. Weaving history and forensics with down-to-earth "good fun," Fletcher keeps us on the edge of our seats and leaves us wanting more.
I enjoyed this book but feel too much le to be taking notes for a midterm exam. Perhaps it's the subject, but keeping which dynasty with is appropriate BC date was hard enough. But wth the name repetition and variations I felt I needed pictures which in this Kindle edition were omitted. (WHY?). But a good story nonetheless with an almost surprise at the end.
Absolutely loved this book! What a dynamic woman was Nefertiti, and the author brings her to life in a brilliant, vivid way!
