PRESERVE AN ARTWORK

The

ENIGMA OF

an

EGYPTIAN

QUEEN!

“NEFERTITI”

One thing is clear. More than 626 years has gone by and to date, there has been no

one, remotely close to having a clue as to what happened to Nefertiti. Although there are

centuries of theory’s, none has ever been confirmed with legitimate certainty.

Profoundly, we would know even less about the queen, had it not been for the

discovery of the bust found in a workshop, located inside, “Anama Egypt;” owned, and

presumably, sculpted by: “Thustmos.” Perhaps in the year of 1345 B.C.

The fascination of this beautiful Egyptian Queens Bust, continues to captivate, anyone

that has the opportunity to glance at her historical photos, or being fortunate enough to

travel to the “Berlin Museum,” which is located in Germany; in order that they may physically,

view her actual bust as shown above.

The sculptural make up of limestone alongside, a composition overlay of sulfate

minerals, that include: a soft white mineral of, calcium sulfate, as well as well as other

pigments, traced directly back to Egyptian history, promises to be an archeologist jackpot find!

This composition in modern times are known and used today as a rich fertilizer, chalk

board or plaster, that helps with the preservation of its” natural beauty,” Naturally! Very little

materials have been added in order to maintain its authenticity. Interestingly enough, these

materials are a copy cats dream in duplicating a replica for years to come.

The bust and its beauty is as captivating as the story that surrounds her life equally as

a “WIFE OF A KING!” Her name is really the first indication of not only her physical attributes,

but her spirit as well! “NEFERTITI” (meaning) “The Beautiful One Has Come!”
