On December 6, 1912, the outstanding German archaeologist Ludwig Borchardt made his most famous discovery. In the workshop of the sculptor Thutmose, among the ruins of the ancient city of Akhetaton, a remarkably preserved sculptural portrait of Queen Nefertiti in a blue wig was found, which became one of the symbols of not only Ancient Egypt, but also of all world art. What do we know about Nefertiti? What sources allow us to lift the veil of secrecy over her fate? What did contemporaries write about the great queen? How did she spend her last days? What monuments, in addition to the famous masterpiece, have brought to this day the exquisite appearance of the "great royal wife"? This and much more - in a lecture by the famous Russian Egyptologist Viktor Solkin. Support the channel: 2200400123780658
