It celebrates the 100th anniversary of the discovery of the famous bust of Nefertiti. The full-page color photographs of the portrait heads found in Thutmoses' workshop at Amarna are alone worth the relatively modest price. The photographs are so spectacularly focused it is almost like holding these enigmatic treasures in your hands.There are 29 chapters written by 26 scholars covering just about everything one could wish: from monumental sculpture to exquisite faience amulets, from photos of the early excavations to detailed models of the temples and palaces, from new discoveries to unpublished finds, from insights to controversies, all with an emphasis on Ludwig Borchardt's excavations (1911-1914) and the fabulous collection of the Egyptian Museum in Berlin.Now for the minuses: There are typos and infelicities in the translations from the German, probably the result of rush to publication in order to coincide with the exhibit at Berlin's Egyptian Museum. More troublesome is the organization. Many of the glorious full-size photographs of objects are not identified, and one must search for small photographs among the voluminous pages to discover exactly what one is looking at. For example the very important (and previously unpublished) painted bust of Akhenaten--although terribly damaged and found almost adjacent to the Queen's bust--has a large color photograph on page 355. Although the text on the facing page is talking about it and a parallel King's bust in the Louvre, one cannot be sure at first which king's bust is illustrated on the adjacent page without finding small black-and-white photos of the Berlin Akhenaten bust identified on pages 181, 185 & 459. A cross reference would be most helpful, as would showing the Berlin Akhenaten bust (p. 355) and the Louvre Akhenaten bust (p.184) together. The King's painted bust is important even though ruined because it was gold leafed as well as painted, and that suggests that Nefertiti's famous bust was not a sculptor's model, as Borchardt speculated, but a work, perhaps unfinished, originally intended for some kind of display with the bust of the King.All in all the volume is a treasure trove for Amarna students. Maybe not so interestng to the average reader. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A world of its own under the icon of beauty *by H***N on Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2015* This book was wonderful to just browse through. See Amarna as it is today and the wonders that were found there. Ancient Akhetaten, the Horizon of the Sun, was built by Akhenaten to be his refuge from the world outside and a world of its own. Here he could worship his god and feel that he was free to do so. And wherebver the Pharaoh was so was the center of the Egyptian world. It was a hundred years ago when the beautiful ones face can=me out of the sands of Tell El-Amarna and this book celebrates that find. Nefertit has become an icon of beauty as her name suggested ever since she was discovered. This book shows rare photois of the discovery scarcely monites after her unearthing from the sands that filled the studio of Thutmose the Atist. The bookn shows that it =was not all the beauty found in Amarna though, for Akhenaten spired a new sence of thr loive of beautyon walls vaces and in a variety of media from glass to paintings. Here you can see what artistry the Egyptians freed from the stylizations of tradition could do. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ She Was the Light of Amarna *by R***A on Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2016* This is a beautiful coffee table book that will satisfy the appetites of archeologists. Egyptologists, and lovers of fine art and culture in general. The photographs of the artifacts are of fine quality. Of course, the inside photo of the bust of Nefertiti is wonderful. This volume might even be used as a good starting point for further exploration and research into the Amarna Period, not only of the nobility but also the common people as well. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/13398724-in-the-light-of-amarna-100-years-of-the-nefertiti](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/13398724-in-the-light-of-amarna-100-years-of-the-nefertiti) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-10*
