Next to Cleopatra, she is the second most famous queen of Egypt. She was much admired in the ancient world because of its beauty. Among her many names were possessed of charm, exuding Happiness, Mistress of sweetness, beloved, Mistress of Upper and Lower Egypt, Great King's Wife, and Lady of the two.
This woman was Nefertiti, the "Great Royal Wife" or "chief consort / wife" of the Egyptian pharaoh Amenhotep IV, the heretic king who led a religious revolution and later changed his name to Akhenaten. Plus not just a pretty face, Nefertiti would have been a leading role in promoting this new religion.
During the reign of Akhenaten, she became co-regent or pharaoh and was equal considered the most powerful woman on earth as indicated in the works in the temple walls that depicted her as big as the king. Nefertiti is even shown in the conventional representation of a pharaoh hit his enemy with a club.
But the woman who has influenced standards female beauty 20th century was not spared the ravages of time. Egyptologists at the Altes Museum in Berlin are now saying the queen who was revered for her youthful beauty had actually pockets and wrinkles!
This revelation comes crashing experts Museum Egyptian hosts the 3300-year-old bust of Nefertiti. The painted limestone bust or Berlin bust is the work of the sculptor Thutmose official of Pharaoh and was found in his studio in 1912. Many consider him one of the greatest works of art because it shows Nefertiti in all its glory.
"This bust represents (Nefertiti) with full lips enhanced by a bold red. Although the crystal inlay is missing his left eye, both eyes and brows are outlined in black. Her graceful elongated neck balances the large, crown-top dish that adorns her sleek head. The bright colors of her necklace and the contrast of the crown of yellow-brown of her skin smooth. While everything is sculpted to perfection, the only flaw of the piece is a broken left ear. Because This remarkable sculpture is still in existence, it is not surprising that Nefertiti remains' The Most Beautiful Woman in the World, "says Egyptologist Jimmy Dunn.
However, with the discovery of traces of pockets and wrinkles of her bust, experts say Nefertiti may have been an aging beauty. These findings emerged when a different light has been used for Nefertiti bust which has shown "shortcomings" that the sculptor had ended in the limestone. A scan confirmed their findings.
"Now it is even more fascinating. (This finding) destroys the myth of Nefertiti as icon of youthful beauty and reveals a woman, new fascinating in its beauty mature, "said Francesco Tiradritti Egyptologist.
Luckily for Nefertiti, she carried her bags look good. But for many people, eye bags are dangerous because they make you look old, tired, sad or sleepy.
