Little is known about the Egyptian queen Nefertiti, yet she is one of the most famous women who ever lived. Her face adorns modern artifacts all over the world, thanks to just one object: the lovely, mysterious Nefertiti bust created by Thutmose. Joyce Tyldesley tells the fascinating story of one of the world's most treasured artifacts.
