Nefertiti and the Lost Dynasty

Nefertiti and the Lost Dynasty: State of the art science helps unravel the mysteries of one of Egypt's most powerful, beautiful and controversial Queens. Over 3,000 years ago, Nefertiti, the perfect one, and her husband Akhenaten, the radical king, tore ancient Egypt apart. This revolutionary couple shook the foundations of Egypt by overthrowing the government, the capital city, and even replacing the old gods. In less than 20 years, they would turn Egypt upside down and then vanish forever. In Nefertiti and the Lost Dynasty, a determined international team brings state-of-the-art CT scans to the Valley of the Kings, for the second time in history, in pursuit of answers surrounding this mysterious family of pharaohs and their unexplained disappearance. Nefertiti explores the debate that has been raging for decades, and follows the new scientific investigation as they try to determine the identity of a 3000 year old mummy. Could it be the lost Queen Nefertiti?
