The magnificent reimagining of the life of Egypt’s most enigmatic queen. From her journey as a young princess of the kingdom of Saba to a new home and role as the wife of Egypt’s revolutionary Pharaoh Akhenaton. To the founding of the mysterious and controversial city of the Aten — the City of Light.
In an era defined by Akhenaton’s quest to place the Sun (the Aten) at the centre of an innovative monotheistic spirituality, he and Nefertiti usher in a unique period of cultural and artistic innovation. Heralding a momentum of transformation that sweeps across the mighty empire of Egypt, infuriating and maddening their powerful opponents within the orthodoxy.
Through these tumultuous years, the humanity of the iconic family is revealed to us through the eyes of Tashia, Nefertiti’s life-long companion and trusted confidant.
