Akhenaten (Part 2): The Great Queen(s).
In 1361 BCE, Amunhotep IV (later Akhenaten) was beginning to show the first signs of his famously unusual personality. From his first diplomatic encounters, to the rise of his famous Queen Nefertiti, the new pharaoh of Egypt was a different sort of ruler. Traces of this survive in the documentary and artistic record...
