The bust of Queen Nefertiti was found in 1912 by the archaeologist Ludwig Borchardt. For many long centuries, it had been lying dormant in the desert sands, just like Akhentaten—the most beautiful city from the times of the 18th dynasty. Almost all the characters found on the pages of this book, just like the beautiful queen herself, were real people. Now, after 3300 years of silence, Nefertiti and her contemporaries speak to us through the literary voice of Ewa Kassala. The roots of European civilization date back to the earliest times of ancient Egypt. It was then that Nefertiti lived on shores of the Nile, and she became one of the most influential women in the history of this country.Who was she, this Pharaoh whose name meant ‘Beauty that Came’?Was she Princess Tadukhipa from the kingdom of Mitanni, daughter of King Tushratta; or a daughter of an influential aristocrat, a counselor from the Pharaoh's court? Was her son Tutankhamun?And did her husband Amenhotep IV, known later as Akhenaten, really suffer from impotence?What happened to the mighty queen—the only woman in ancient Egypt who used traditional rituals during her ceremonies to shatter her enemies' heads?Where was she buried?Divine Nefertiti discovers many secrets of ancient Egypt, unveiling the mysterious beliefs of the distant civilization, the culture, and architecture of her times.The author invites the reader into the world of wise and strong women, who cultivated the knowledge of their ancestors, were gifted with extraordinary abilities, engaged in magic and healing, and whose visions spanned the centuries of time.

Divine Nefertiti

Hatshepsut – a wife, mother, priestess, master of political strategy, functioning perfectly well in male world of harsh game rules, strong, but sensitive at the same time, as well as full of ideals, wise woman. Heralded, by Egyptologists as the first feminist in history. We discover a path she took before she put on a male attire, attached ritual, artificial beard, and became, unlike most of her predecessors, the ruler’s consort, but independently ruling pharaoh, during whose reign, Egypt became world power. The author takes us into Amon’s priests and Hathor’s priestesses’ fascinating world, mystic rituals and powerful magic. We take a look at construction of Hatshepsut’s temple as well as world’s largest obelisks, we take part in trade expeditions and wars, we live through characters’ joys and crises with them, we meet gods from 3500 years before. We function in a world of incredibly strong women, supporting each other, connected by timeless ties. All characters in the story are authentic, presented facts have been consulted with Egyptologists and experts from around the world. Why were all her images and statues destroyed after her death, and her name scraped off? What was her fault? What moved her contemporaries so much, that we only found out about her existence recently?After thousands of years of silence, the queen speaks to us again. She tells us a story of forbidden love in ancient Egypt’s fascinating world, shows us faces of powerful female ruler, sensitive, spiritual, ideals filled woman, Amon and Hathor’s high priestess, master of political strategy, functioning skillfully in a world of tough, male game rules. She reveals to us the road she had to, and wanted to walk, before she became, unlike most her predecessors – a ruler’s consort- but independently reigning, powerful pharaoh. Pharaoh Hatshepsut reigned 3500 years ago, and what she left, still inspires with equal intensity as before: temple and tomb of Deir el- Bahari, Place in Aton’s Heart, now called Red Chapel, tallest obelisks in the world, carved from single block of marble, and that cracked, unfinished one, weighing about 1000 tons one in Asuan quarries, which was, as it seems, one of the genius Senenmut’s – architect, steward, advisor and queen’s lover - downfall.
