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. In profile, the mummy's face unmistakably resembles that of a famous Nefertiti bust – carved during her lifetime – that rests in a museum in Berlin. Another clue is the way the fingers of her right hand are curled – as if she was grasping a royal scepter at the time of her burial. Cursory examination of the mummy reveals shocking post-mortem damage – her chest cavity has been smashed, her arm broken off and her jawbone crushed. This could be the handiwork of grave robbers or – as Dr. Fletcher suggests – the work of the queen's own vengeful subjects. But, the damage doesn't prevent Dr. Fletcher's team from accurately reconstructing Nefertiti's face – revealing on camera for the first time one of history's most legendary beauties. Join the Quest and explore the life, leadership and the final resting place of ancient Egypt's most powerful queen.
