Joann and a team of experts have helped identify the body which has been considered missing for more that 3000 years, and the story it confirms casts Nefertiti in astonishing new light. No mere wife of a pharaoh, Nefertiti herself became ruler of Egypt. Always the major player to a weak husband, following Akhenaten's death she held court in the new capital of Amarna enjoying unrivalled wealth and luxury while the country disintegrated around her.
