NEFERTARI: THE LIFE OF AN EGYPTIAN QUEEN

One of Ancient Egypt’s most renowned royal women, but is almost unknown by non-egyptologists. She was known as the most beautiful, and intelligent queens in the ancient world. Her husband built a temple for her, she may have even been the power behind the Pharaoh… her name was Nefertari - The Beauty Of the Beauties.

But who was this mysterious woman? We don’t know much about her, but through years of research, and putting together various sources of information, we can now possibly tell a more complete story of her life.

Director Statement

Nefertari is without a doubt my favourite Egyptian Queen. The wife of Ramses The Great has always caught my imagination. Now through this documentary I hope to tell her life story to a wider audience outside of the Egyptology world.
