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

4.0

As a fan of the Amarna period, I was really taken by this book. It offered a different point of view of Akhenaten's reign than I have previously been exposed to and made me think a lot differently of the royal pair, and of how they are depicted in the art of the time. Peeling back the layers of hieroglyphs and comparing/contrasting with contemporary theology, history of the time fleshed them out as more than just weirdos or rebels against the prevailing order.

The narrator...read the book.
