Egypt's Golden Couple by Colleen Darnell, John Darnell

challenging informative slow-paced

2.5

I have mixed feelings about 2022’s “Egypt’s Golden Couple: When Akhenaten & Nefertiti Were Gods On Earth”. Each chapter begins with an annoying & unnecessary fictional short that feels like padding. The focus on art is fascinating, but the authors tend to make sweeping statements without consistently proving them or disproving conflicting theories. I didn’t like it as much as the 1998 ”The Murder of Tutankhamen” by Bob Brier, Ph.D; I look forward to seeing how the 2023 ”Pharaohs of the Sun” by Guy de la Bédoyère compares.
