Egypt
TV: Nefertiti and the Lost Dynasty
EarthTimes.org
For those of you with access to the National Geographic Channel . . ,
It is one of Egypt's enduring mysteries. What happened to Nefertiti and her husband, Akhenaten -- the radical king, and likely father of King Tut? In a dark and mysterious tomb located in the Valley of the Kings, there is a small chamber with two mummies without sarcophagi or wrappings. At times, both have been identified as Queen Nefertiti by scholars, filmmakers and historians. But the evidence has been circumstantial at best.
Now, for the first time, National Geographic Channel (NGC) and Dr. Zahi Hawass, Secretary General of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities and National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence, use a CT scan machine that can go inside these two mummies to get scientific evidence that will establish whether either could be Nefertiti -- and if not, who they may be. On Monday, July 16, at 9 p.m. ET/PT, NGC presents a one-hour special, "Nefertiti and the Lost Dynasty," that documents the high-tech forensic investigation conducted by an international team dedicated to resolving the fate of the famed queen.
