To mark the anniversary of the discovery of the bust of Nefertiti on 6 December 1912, the Egyptian Museum and Papyrus Collection will be presenting an extensive special exhibition on the Amarna period at the Neues Museum on the Museumsinsel Berlin. The exhibition focuses on never-before-seen discoveries from the collections of the Berlin museums, supplemented by loans from other museums abroad, allowing Nefertiti's time to be understood within its cultural-historical context.
Amarna, the site where the colourful bust of Nefertiti was found, is today an inhospitable place, located in the desert surrounded by mountains and characterised by sun, heat and sand. What was it like here 3400 years ago? Why did Akhenaten choose this place for his new capital? Barry Kemp has been researching in Amarna for over 35 years and provides answers to our questions.
