By Janna Silverstein:
An exploration of ancient evidence to piece together an outstanding mystery, it explores the question: What happened to Queen Nefertiti, and are her remains among a pair of previously unidentified mummies in the Valley of the Kings?

Those who want to learn more about Nefertiti's family and history, as well as the archeological processes used to identify remains and link them to history will find much here to satisfy. The video offers technical information in layman's terms for the history buff, the archeology fan and especially those with an interest in ancient Egypt.
