Pub Date: November 1, 2022. . Available wherever books are sold https://read.macmillan.com/lp/egypts-golden-couple/. . Akhenaten has been the subject of radically different, even contradictory, biographies. The king has achieved fame as the world's first individual and the first monotheist, but others have seen him as an incestuous tyrant who nearly ruined the kingdom he ruled. The gold funerary mask of his son Tutankhamun and the painted bust of his wife Nefertiti are the most recognizable artifacts from all of ancient Egypt. But who are Akhenaten and Nefertiti? And what can we actually say about rulers who lived more than three thousand years ago? November 2022 marks the centennial of the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun and although "King Tut" is a household name, his nine-year rule pales in comparison to the revolutionary reign of his parents. Akhenaten and Nefertiti became gods on earth by transforming Egyptian solar worship, innovating in art and urban design, and merging religion and politics in ways never attempted before. Combining fascinating scholarship, detective suspense, and adventurous thrills, Egypt's Golden Couple is a journey through excavations, museums, hieroglyphic texts, and stunning artifacts. From clue to clue, renowned Egyptologists John and Colleen Darnell reconstruct an otherwise untold story of the magnificent reign of Akhenaten and Nefertiti. </video> <video> Dr. Colleen Darnell Explores Historical Fiction in Ancient Egypt Description: Dr. Colleen Darnell examines stories written by the ancient Egyptians and set in their own past – historical fiction composed three thousand years ago. The tale known as the “Quarrels of Apepi and Seqenenre,” set ca. 1560 BCE, was written three hundred years later. The story is a tale of two kings, two cities, and battle by letter, with noisy hippos in a surprising role! .
