Nefertiti: Mummy Queen Mystery

Loved by a king. Hated by an empire. Erased from history – that is, until now. Join famed Egyptologist Dr. Joann Fletcher as she leads a Discovery Quest to uncover what may be the most startling archaeological find of our lifetime – the long-lost mummy of Queen Nefertiti. For centuries, the whereabouts of one of Egypt's most famous – and controversial – leaders remained a mystery. Then, in 1898, hidden in a small chamber behind a secret wall in a tomb in the Valley of Kings, three anonymous, seemingly ordinary mummies were found – and soon forgotten. For a hundred years, they laid there in the dark, neglected and unexamined. Watch as Dr. Joann Fletcher returns to that hidden chamber to prove that one of the mummies – referred to as "younger woman" – is Nefertiti.
