Nefertiti Resurrected (2003x18)

Air date: Aug 17, 2003

Loved by a king. Hated by an empire. Erased from history. She could be the biggest find since King Tut. Has the famed Egyptian beauty, Queen Nefertiti, been found in a secret chamber deep in the Valley of the Kings? A Discovery Channel Quest expedition, led by Dr. Joann Fletcher and a team of internationally renown scientists from the University of York Mummy Research Team, hopes to find out. If they're right, the finding will be one of the greatest archaeological discoveries since Nefertiti's stepson-King Tutankhamen-was discovered in 1922. "Great Royal Wife" of the "renegade" pharaoh Akhenaten, Nefertiti's turbulent reign to life as never using cutting edge computer animations to recreate ancient Egypt's great temples, x-rays to reveal the telltale signs of foul play on her mummy; and forensic graphics to recreate the mummy's face. Have they found the ancient world's greatest beauty?
