Egypt
Nefertiti and the Lost Dynasty
La Cañada Online
Last week, National Geographic aired a documentary that explored a controversy that has been brewing for many years: Has Nefertiti's mummy been found? For Dr. Susan James, author and La Cañada resident, this mystery has been part of her life since she wrote her first article about the issue in 2001. "The program was an investigation of two female mummies that were transferred from a tomb," James said.
The show, "Nefertiti and The Lost Dynasty," examined two mummies archeologists call the Elder Lady and the Younger Lady. They were discovered in a tomb named KV 35 in the Valley of the Kings in the late 1800s . . . .
James, who is a historian with a PhD in British History, found the Elder Woman when she was looking through a book on mummies years ago. As she researched the mummy, she found many similarities between her and Nefertiti. She wrote a paper on her deductions."I got some really good feed back," James recalled. . . .
The experience with the National Geographic filming was new for James. She wasn't certain what questions would be posed by the interviewer. "I got the questions just 45 minutes before being filmed," she said. "I didn't have any restrictions on what I could say, but you don't have any control of what is in the program or how it is edited."
