Egypt's Golden Couple: When Akhenaten and Nefertiti Were Gods on Earth by Colleen Darnell, John Darnell

3.0

The subject matter was interesting, and I follow Colleen on social media, so I am familiar with their work and credentials. The book ended up dragging on a bit too long; given that there is still a lot about ancient Egypt that is a mystery that may never be solved the book could have been a third shorter. The narratives were interesting introductions to the chapter, but I wish there had been more firsthand accounts of the authors dig seasons. That often times is the most fascinating thing. This book also doesn't quite lend itself to audiobook form. There is a large section in the middle of the book that translates hieroglyphs. Fascinating to be sure, but hard to follow. Overall, an interesting read but dense. Might try picking up the physical book someday.
