Title: Nothing New under the Aten
Product review: Since we know virtually nothing about Queen Nefertiti--indeed, all we do know is her name, those of her husband and children, and where she lived (and, all right, in what century BC she lived)--the idea of a biography of Her Majesty seems a bit over the top. This book does not fail to live down to that expectation. Regrettably, there is nothing in it that cannot be found in the standard scholarly works on the Amarna Period. Ordinarily, popular works of this type are often redeemed by having beautiful illustrations. In the department, too, the book is not notable. A disappointment.
