Amarna - City of Akhenaten and Nefertiti
Although sadly little now remains of the city itself, Amarna (more properly Akhetaten) is arguably the best known settlement site discovered from ancient Egypt. Habited for just 15 years, this ephemeral capital, its king Amenophis IV, soon to be known as Akhenaten, and his beautiful queen Nefertiti, give to this city site a wonderful magical quality. The royal court; the sculptors who created stunning masterpieces; the police (and the criminals!); the artisans, the ordinary people who came to make Amarna their home. This is the story not just of excavation but of the people themselves. Do come and join us for this new course: Amarna: City of Akhenaten and Nefertiti. A warm welcome awaits.
