Nefertiti, the bust: 2001

Impressed by Egypt in 1996 we had to see the world famous bust of queen Nefertiti in the Egyptian Museum during our visit to Berlin.


















"And the heiress, great in the palace, fair of face, adorned with the double plumes, mistress of happiness, endowed with favours, at hearing whose voice the king rejoices, the chief wife of the king, his beloved, the lady of the two lands, Nefertiti, may she live for ever and always."

Inscription on a stelae of Queen Nefertiti's husband Pharaoh Akhenaten.
