I'm a bit irritated that Germany retains ownership of Nefertiti's bust. Obviously, it should be returned to Egypt, and placed on display there. It's a piece of their history, a symbol of the people and culture that shaped the origins of Egypt. Other than showboating, it holds absolutely no significance to the German's or their heritage. I could be wrong about that, but I still think it belongs in Egypt. In an ideal world, any previously looted artifacts of significant historical or cultural impact would be returned to where they belong, but... c'est la vie. Very interesting video. :3

I must say that going back into ancient history is quite terrifying! The way that these rulers were smart enough to build architecture for their remains, carve their stories onto walls and preserve their bodies in a way that would be found thousands of years later is very fascinating and scary at the same time. They had to be so creative to let the world after them know that they were here. I always watch these videos with a little bit of an uneasy feeling, but it's too interesting not to look into it. Learning about this is extraordinary. It's still a big mystery though because there are so many theories and different versions to the same story that one has to determine what they believe to be true.

[@marsbearmcw3050]

I disagree. I’ve seen the bust in Germany and I’ve toured Egypt and one thing I’ve noticed is that other countries , namely Britain, France and Germany treat these works of art with the respect they are due. Unlike Egypt that has such an overwhelming amount of such ancient artworks that they do not treat them this way. Just look at the riots they had a few years ago in Cairo when lunatics stormed the museum. I think it’s better to have them in different museums around the world rather than all under one roof in case of such catastrophes. If the Cairo museum was on fire I can tell you right now that the Egyptian fire brigade would be useless in putting it out. I’d also add that all modern Egypt cares about is the money they can make out of it. I noticed the whole time I was in Egypt that someone stands at the front door of anywhere, be it museum, tomb, temple, anywhere with their hand out collecting money for no apparent reason. It certainly isn’t because they have state of the art security and atmospheric controlled environments so as to look after them. Yes, I know Tutankhamens treasures receive that treatment but I tell you it’s rare behaviour .

[@KatGlos]

@@marsbearmcw3050 Do you know how many irreplaceable artefacts from foreign countries were destroyed in Germany in World War 2? It's a miracle that the bust of Nefertiti survived, and throughout the majority of the last 100 years, it would have been much safer in Egypt.

[@mikatu]

People keep making the same mistake. They assume someone wasn't as beautiful as described because now they have different standards. Some of the beauty queens a few centuries ago are the fat and lame of nowadays..... Beauty changes with time but beauty concepts as well.

[@optimusprimus89]

Yeah that's exactly what I was thinking. Maybe the kind of nose she had WAS wanted back then like who knows

[@Dinanysos]

But he even referred to her beauty as "matching the standards of the time", and they're basing the assumption that she mightve not been as beautiful on the fact that her actual face shape on the inside of the mask didn't match the sculptures and masks and busts built after her. So if the things that are supposed to be an actual resemblance of you have changes such as removing nose bumps, it's a pretty clear hint that they just wanted to make the statues more perfect than her actual face.

Her death mask alone proves these people of ancient times had a compatible concept of beauty with modern times. The fact that the sculpter did the ancient equivalent of photoshop/beauty filters only furthers the point that they were trying to portray this standard.

It depends on the time and region, I agree.

Queen Nefertiti is such a fascinating woman. Much like Cleopatra. The idea of worshipping one God by her husband seemed so revolutionary. She's so forgotten that no one knows what she is. It's like they condemned from memory.

[@areiaaphrodite]

That was the point. They did condemn her and Ahkenaten from memory because the idea of replacing the traditional gods of Egypt with a new god that no one had ever heard about, The Aten, was blasphemous and heresy. That's why Ahkenaten is often referred to as The Heretic Pharaoh or The Heretic King. Horemhab, the last Pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty tried to erase many of his predecessors from history and memory; including Ahkenaten, Tutankhamun and Ay.

Her parents were Amenhotep III and Queen Tiye, just like Ahkenaten. Nefertiti is not listed as a child of the royal couple. For the most, Nefetiti could have been the half sister of her husband, having the same father. But it's more accepted that Ay was her father because he is listed as part of her family tree. Nefetiti is definitely not Tutankhamun's mother. There's a theory that Tutankhamun's mother is a secondary wife known as "Kiya". If Tutankhamun was Nefertiti's mother it would have been listed clearly as that because she was Ahkenaten's chief wife.

Another fascinating piece of information regarding ancient Egypt that most people do not know is the well established fact that Nefertiti, the world famous queen of Egypt, the women that revolutionized the Nile valley by bringing sun worship into Egypt, was an Armenian highlander. Queen Nefertiti of Egypt was a native of Mitanni. The Mittani kingdom of the Armenian Highlands was an off-shoot of the Hurrian kingdom. The Hurri and the Mittani were in turn the contemporaries of other Armenian highlanders, the Hittites and most probably the Hykos. Today, all the aforementioned nations of the Armenian Highlands are considered to be, in varying degrees, proto-Armenians. Modern day Armenians are the direct descendants of those ancient tribes.

[@sallypoe]

They may have been stillborn or died from sundry illnesses. I don't know if it was an issue in Egypt but just check how many royal children died in Northern Europe from haemophilia.

[@donovanchilton5817]

Tut was inbred and was heavily disabled because of it. If they kept up the pattern of incestuous marriages it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to assume that they were even worse off than he was. Maybe they died because of it. Maybe they died of SIDS or some preventable disease. I'm assuming we just don't know

[@areiaaphrodite]

I can answer this question very easily. The children were never born alive. They were both still births. Some people thought that they were twins but they were not. One was born at 5-6 months of gestation and the other was born nearly to full term but was stillborn, so never alive. They were buried in their father's tomb because he died first before Ankhesenamun and wanted to take his children with him. The reason that they didnt survive is basically because they were too inbred to survive. Tutankhamun was also extremely unhealthy because of inbreeding and had numerous health problems. And the mother of his children was his half sister. They shared the same father. So that made the infants' chances worse. The older mummy was found to already have deformities like spinal bifida, scoliosis (like Tutankhamun) and Sprengel's deformity. The child also had a clubbed foot both like her father and her mother. Even if the more developed baby had survived birth, with these physical obstacles, survival even into adolescence would be either unlikely or damn near miraculous with the medical care available in Ancient Egypt. Hope I answered your question!

[@kirbyjustine1]

They had stillborn twins.

[@Tawroset]

@@areiaaphrodite I agree. The saddest part, to me, is that a stillborn child in ancient Egypt was not customarily mummified, since technically it had never lived. But it looks like the royal parents managed to have the two girls mummified regardless. I guess they hoped they could at least meet their daughters in the afterlife.☹

FWIW neither of them was particularly successful. King Tut is only famous because his tomb wasn't robbed prior to being found in the 20th century, which is very rare, so many treasures were recovered. Otherwise his reign was short and he died young. Cleopatra is more famous because she got involved in Roman politics, which lead to the downfall of an independent Egypt and it's annexation by Rome.

Cleopatra wasn’t truly Egyptian... she was apart of a foreign dynasty that took over. The last dynasty that took over. She is more closer to our history in years then the true Egyptians that built the pyramids and other monuments in the region

[@PtolemyXVII]

Love this series as a history major at Uni I loved the romance and fascination of this ancient civilization (minus the EXTREME incest). It’s also fascinating and mysterious to learn that the Ancient Egyptian’s actually used and “paved over” a even more ancient advanced culture that were the original builders of the pyramids of Giza and Sphinx. Thanks so much for sharing and much love from Montana. ✨💖✨

From wikipedia: The Younger Lady is the informal name given to a mummy discovered within [a tomb in the Valley of the Kings] in 1898. Through recent DNA tests, this mummy has been identified as the mother of the pharaoh Tutankhamun, and a daughter of pharaoh Amenhotep III and Queen Tiye. Early speculation that this mummy was the remains of Queen Nefertiti was proven to be incorrect.

It is interesting that the desire women have to look perfect was important even back then. A womans beauty can increase, or decrease depending on the woman herself. Some of the most beautiful women I have ever known might not win a beauty contest for the public. Beauty comes from within.

It is way too convenient. I've been to Amarna (Akhetaten as it was known in ancient times) and when I saw how the city was pretty much razed to the ground with extremely little remaining, the idea that he could stumble across this became very suspect to me. To the best of my knowledge, very few artifacts were found there, (a fish shaped vase being one) but that's it. I've also seen the busts of her in the Cairo Museum, and tbh, this bust looks too Caucasian, for lack of a better term.

@@linda10989 I seriously thought it was fake from the first time I heard just how "it was found". I mean come on!! The parts that were "damaged"!!?? Lol only the tips of the ears and the cobra? If it truly fell from a shelf onto the floor and there wasn't more damage to face was a true miracle. The nose or at least the cheek or lips should have had marks. Personally, I think someone probably the German guy, can't remember his name right now, commissioned a fake. I think they found a limestone base and had plaster applied to it. The cat scans of the limestone base are very interesting. The fact that the he held the bust in his home for YEARS before it was put on display for the public is also suspicious.

Even though we can't be sure what Nefertiti really looked liked, the mold mask seems more like she was older when they were sculpturing her image and naturally like any woman, they wanted the younger version bs the current older woman. Didn't mean she wasn't beautiful but I'm sure it's no different now when we perceive beauty as youth not an old person.

How about doing a video on Lucrezia Borgia? She wasn't exactly as bad as she seemed according to modern historians.

It is generally accepted that Egyptians were mostly people of colour. There were an array of colours but most of them were not European except for traders and ambassadors. Other than that, most people of European lineage weren't living in Egypt until the Ptolemaic period. Ptolemy I and his family were Macedonian and remained that way through incest and inbreeding like traditional Egyptian royalty did.
