What is Amarna City of Akhenaten and Nefertiti: Nefertiti as Pharaoh about?

About the Author: Julia Sampson was an Egyptologist of Australian birth. She was one of the longest serving members of the Egypt Exploration society (77 years). She specialised in the Amarna Period, being based for many years in the Egyptology Department of University College London where she worked on material from Amarna in the Petrie Museum.Tell el-Amarna is the modern name for the ancient Egyptian city of Akhenaten, situated in a bay of hills formed by the cliffs of the eastern desert about halfway between Cairo and Luxor. The city was founded in the 14th century BC by the Pharaoh Akhenaten to be a royal palace for himself and his wife Nefertiti, the capital of all Egypt and the center of the state cult of the Sun God in the form of Aten (sun disc), which became an obsession of the Pharoah. The city contained temples, palaces, state buildings and great private mansions, but was abandoned by Akhenaten’s successor, his son Tutenkhamen, and the city was demolished, never to be re-inhabited. This volume presents a detailed, illustrated catalog of the many statues, statuettes, reliefs, inlays and inscriptions recorded and collected by Flinders Petrie, together with glass and faience
