I actually especially love Nefertiti and her role in ancient Egypt.

This period in Ancient Egypt is very…

When he ascended the throne his name was Amenhotep IV, but in his sixth year of rule he changed it to Akhenaten which can be translated as the Benevolent one of the Aten.” According to the…

Tutankhamun's mask The stunning, gold funeral mask of Pharaoh Tutankhamun is considered to be one of the most highly artistic, complex, and beautiful pieces of art crafted by the ancient Egyptians. Tutankhamun, or better known as “King Tut”, reigned from 1332-1323 BC.
