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

5.0

Egypt's Golden Couple: How Akhenaten and Nefertiti Became Gods on Earth is a well-researched and extremely in-depth look at the couple. If you have any interest in Akhenaten and Nerfertiti, this book covers everything from what archeology says to the past contradictory representations of Akhenaten. I didn't know much about the topic when I opened the book, but found the chapters easy to follow despite that.

My favorite part of this book was the short fiction excerpts included at the start of each chapter that cover some of the events. Those excerpts were perfect for people like me who sometimes get overwhelmed by the amount of information in a non-fiction book. Those fiction excerpts helped me digest the book and picture the information presented.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
