You have seen her face. The perfect neck, the serene gaze, the tall blue crown. It is one of the most recognized faces in human history, painted more than 3,300 years ago. And yet we do not know how she died, where she is buried, or even who her parents were. At the height of her power, Nefertiti simply disappeared from history.
This is the story of the most powerful woman in the ancient world: the queen who stood beside a heretic pharaoh, helped overturn a thousand years of religion, was carved into stone as a warrior-king, and may have ruled Egypt alone as a living god before vanishing without a trace.
