It's not often that a documentary features a scientific debate from various camps instead of pushing a pseudoscience far-fetched conclusions just to make things more attractive and simplistic for broader audience. I love this format. Well done.

The destruction of the mummies during the periods mentioned is absolutely appalling, and the grave robbers didnt just steal thing of monitory worth, they stole our history!!! So much has been lost because of greed, anger, and fear!

It’s interesting how she’s missing an eye both on that famous statue and her mummy

I thought they tried to erase her memory after her death? It's possible that they destroyed her body to prevent her from reaching the afterlife. We may never find her.

it is very special to see that a women who died more then 3000 years ago gives work today to more than 1000nd of people ....

I watched a three hour Egypt video today now watching this

27:27 -- Whether Nefertiti or not I, still think the woman in KB21, appears to have been a formidable figure. Something tells me she was not one to be messed with!!!

I vote for 21B as an artist. Nefertiti had a long neck if her depictions are true to form. 21B has a long neck. The jaw line and brow both lead my eye to believe that is her.

This was a staggering documentary to come up with this idea and suggestion and its opposite in the same time . sifting all these prolific documents and research was something extraordinary thanks for this 🙏

There are new DNA tests underway on the KV21 A and KV21 B mummies, as well as the KV35YB, the young boy which was not done last time. The latter could be Prince Tutmosi, first son of Amehotep III and Tye and brother of Akhenaten. If it were confirmed that KV21 A is the daughter of KV55, mother of the fetuses of KV62 and granddaughter of Amenhotep III and Tye, as well as sister on the father's (not mother's) side of Tutankhamen, it is obvious that it is Ankhesenamen. Having ascertained this, for KV21 B instead to be Nefertiti, it will have to be confirmed that this is the mother of KV21 A. Then there should be no doubts and we would have finally found the famous lost queen. However, given the poor condition of these two mummies, I fear that the results will remain dubious. We await news. Thank you. Luke

There was one tomb that was badly damaged and one mummy was broken in half… it was thought to be her but we’ll probably never found out.

Great video Curtis! 🙂🇨🇦

Much respect for this work.

That is definitely the best documenatry made about searching for Nefertiti's mummy! I really appreciate that Curtis presented different point of view and voices! Personally, I don't believe that Younger Lady is her body - DNA's test result the most probable answer is that mummy was Akhenaten's sister. Nefertiti wasn't his sister, so it can't be her. So her body is still awaiting for discover.

Love love love Curtis. Thank you for showing this but I hope Curtis is getting royalties as he works so hard on his docos.

Very nice 👍 using art to help explain excellent 😊

Do they know which mummies were turned into paint because I always was curious if the lost pharaohs could have been turned into paint 👀

this is a very very good documentary ... thank you to the filmmakers, the anthropologists, film crew, all the work done 🎉

Her mummy is probably in a mansion somewhere in a private collection...

I'm kind of getting a little irritated with this channel re-releasing the same documentaries I have already watched a dozen times before, all years old.... Is there literally no one putting out info with the newest research anymore? Really??? Recycling what you've already released as a *new upload* is lazy.

It was stated over 7 years ago, by Archaeologists that Tut's Mother was a Sister or Half Sister of Akhenaten. (I must note: This documentary is highly layered in presumptions and Archaeologist's weaving stories absent in valid supporting evidence.) One Example being the "assumption of 2 being "Mother and Daughter", 21:43 DNA must be applied prior to these sort of statements, and DNA can be extracted with far greater success at present. Also, it is noticable that DNA degradation comments are overly used when the subject lacks supporting measure for the subject. Where are the Published Mitochondriao DNA? This needs to cite the Resource References. The presumed facial reconstruction changes the ethnicity of Nefertiti, from that presented in her bust. The subject can be fully understood with appropriate DNA studies and Carbon dating the remains, under a Forensic Protocol, and with an Administrative Panel, unassociated with any Egyptologists, Egypt Archaeologists, and Egypt, Britain, USA, Political Representatives, thus also requiring a minimum of 3 Country's Laboratories to run the DNA. Forensic Standards would set forth the necessary requirements to meet the validity and credibility. (A subject I have confidence in through an associated 14 years of my career experience.)

definitely want to know👸🏻 about the Queen. ❤tfsharing

I thought after the death, the Queen and Tut changed things back to the old ways to make the people happy. Not saying that people wouldn't have still disliked her, but i think it adds to the noise of everything.

Dr. Joanne Fletcher was positively rapturous about identifying the Younger Lady as Nefertiti. Hawass, however, even tried to cast doubt on her scholarship, stating at one point that the mummy was actually that of a man (it wasn't, of course). I don't know that we will ever know for sure if Nefertiti's mummy will be definitively identified. As an aside, I always worry for Professor Aziz. She sounds as if she has a lung condition or perhaps vocal chord dysfunction. The latter is less serious, of course, but still troubling. She is incredibly knowledgeable, and I love what she presents. I also wonder about the audio quality of these videos.

One of the most fascinating things about the Amarna period is the art and the artifacts. It seems Tutankhamun's grave goods included a number of items from other burials but not complete funerary goods from any one previous burial. I picture the tombs at Amarna being dismantled and mummies and grave goods being taken to the Valley of the Kings for reburial. Theoretically there could be other tombs yet undiscovered with the rest of the collections of burial items for which another term might be loot. Meaning those other items could have been looted long ago. Queen Tiye, Tut's mother and possibly Akhenaten, Nefertiti and Ankhsenamun were not reburied, so there is that. It looks to me like Tut must have died in the middle of the reburial plans which were never completed. Finally we have some results on mtDNA! I have asked about this for a long time. It seems the babies from Tut's tomb should yield mtDNA that would give some idea of a female line. On the other hand, Tut's family tree is said to be straight as a broomstick, so maybe they all have the same mtDNA. And Y-DNA. Etc..... As I recall, DNA studies of Yuya show stronger than expected Anatolian genes with a touch of possibly European genes. (I am citing an article I once read. Let's not get into all Egyptians were black Africans.) Renditions of Nefertiti's face, including the famous bust, show a facial structure very different than other members of the royal family. Since Nefertiti's genetics are still unknown, I have wondered if she or her family did come from Hittite royalty. One of Nefertiti's epithets was something like 'born a royal princess', yet genealogy has not yet placed her birth within the royal Egyptian line. If Nefertiti's royal line came from Hittite royalty, it would make more sense that her daughter Ankhsenamun wrote to the Hittite king, seeking a royal prince to continue a royal line. Ankhsenamun also wrote that she did not want to marry a courtier. It is said she eventually married Ay, considered to be her uncle or grandfather. If that was a viable option and if Ay was in Nefertiti's line, then I do not think he was merely a "courtier". Since incest was not in any way taboo, marriage to Ay, perhaps except for his age, would not have been a bad option.

The mummy of Akhenaten has not been identified either. Wonder if the couples' bodies had been destroyed because of their heretical reforms. What do you think, guys?

I m still stuck on Nicolas Reeves's theory.

42:09 I can’t believe !!!! 😮

I always wonder how many important mummies were lost to medicine of the renaissance and Middle Ages and mummy brown paint.

The problem with Egyptology (History?) is that the more we know or think we know the more we find how little we know. For example: our man King Tut. We have his tomb, we have his mummy, and we have his stuff, we think. We do not know who his mommy is. The beautiful death mask may belong to Nefertiti. We are dealing with a people made babies with siblings, half siblings, and even daughters. It is a mystery that may never be solved.

no this is a german woman ..the egptians said on the news last night. her father was chinese and her mother was irish with russian lineage. her grandfather is from london and the great grand mother from Ukraine. She accidentally got lost in Egypt on her way to New York. research shows from the great museum in switzerland.

Never realised Tom Allen was into Ancient Egypt documentary narration.

Even a queen as beautiful and majestic as Nefertiti could have become…. this. A mere residue of skin and bones. I know this is how mummies work but seeing the remains in superposition with the bust was unsettling 😅

The name 'Mizraim' is the original name given for Egypt... The name 'Egypt' itself actually comes to us from the Greeks who gave the Land that name...

history channels really need to drop all Hawass references. hes a disgraced and corrupt man

The latest information relating to the younger lady is that she was a full sister of Akhenaten, it has also been suggested that the injury to her face was caused by a kick from a horse.

I think Joanne Fletcher's forensic studies of the "younger woman" of three mummies along with the "elder woman" (Queen Tiyi) is convincing that the younger woman is Nefertiti. Fletcher's book, "The Search for Nefertiti" deserves a read by all who are interested in Nefertiti.

I will say this: if the Younger Lady is Nefertiti, the mutilation of her mummy makes sense given that her role in upheaving the traditional Egyptian religion alongside Akhenaton made her many enemies… ones that didn’t want her to enter the afterlife on the basis of being a heretic. I can’t imagine that a so little documented sister wife of Akhenaton who we barely know anything about could warrant such a death unless there’s something else historians haven’t discovered her.

Love that Kara Cooney!!!❤

I'm getting loads of Temu adds. Temu is China, yes?

She was murdered. Her face was bashed in and the blade thrust up and into her left ribs immediately bled her out.

Considering people ate the mummies... nothing surprises me anymore.... id have to research what era it was found out why and when they ate the mummies but yeah. Just another sad fact of life...

Seems like Egyptians in the past new something about these 2 that was common knowledge. And they took it out on their mummies after the fact. Shoving them into a leaky unfinished tomb. Desecration of anything that would confirm the identities.

Why does the woman at 15:00 sound like she’s on the verge of bursting into tears?

I m wondering if there has been studies done on Tuts tomb. IF there is a extra Tomb behind.... I didnt follow it anyone?

I learned a lot from my mummy.

Personally I subscribe to the theory that her tomb is in the blocked off wall that they found while doing a scan of tuts tomb could be nothing but it hasn't been fully explored and it is on a beautifully painted wall and I don't want it destroyed but at the same time I'm curious and it does make sense since some of his objects are theorized to of belonged to her and even the tomb itself so it makes sense for her to be there

What you forget to compare is the line of the shoulders. The CT scan of the bust of Nefertiti shows that under the plastic cover her shoulders were not in line, one of them (I am not sure which one was) was lower than the other one and the mummy KV-21B has the same difference. This is another sign of possiblity that the mummy KV 21B is Nefertiti.

Extremely interesting as always! But I'm really sorry, couldn't listen to Sofia Aziz. Her voice hurts in the ear. :[

Let us hope she is simply safely stocked away in the archives in Cario yet to be rediscovered.

But what happened to the findings where they said The Younger Lady is Nefertiti?

Be excepting

No disrespect to Curtis, he’s put together some really educational programs which taught me a lot, but I really like having a different narrator. I’d love to see more with him as the host, guiding and interviewing and sharing his knowledge/expertise but with a different narrator.

"The Bust of Nefertiti: Ancient Masterpiece or Genius Hoax?" ? ? ?

Not a fan of the flipping back and forth to different people, I just get used to the voice and a different video and person pops up.

How about Mutnodjmet the supposed sister of Nefertiti daughter of vizer Ay and later wife of General Horemheb has she been found to do comparison to Nefertiti or even Nefertari would of been Nefertiti niece

It’s not the younger lady….

The lady speaking about DNA is gorgeous

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

She's not dead 6:19

I'm standing up but where is it supposed to take me lol.... tattattat.... 29:36 hello hillo.... hello hi.. just saying.... I'll make another one whose sponsoring

whats up with the scary noises thru out the video ?

Visual editing is very poor, constantly shifting and not allowing viewer to examine much without having to interrupt the narrative with frequent use of the pause function. Perhaps this has become the norm in modern editing, a product of the music video aesthetic. Whatever the reason, it caused me, despite interest in subject matter, to abandon watching in short order.

The great tina turner

Where the hell is she? And Cleopatra?

Are Facts Truth’s Or Discovery Truths of Facts 🧐🤔🤷🏼‍♀️

beautiful native born Black Africans from which ALL HUMANS come from ♥️ .

I seen my past life death as Neffirtiti during a spiritual stigmata I went through over the last 5 years. I have exact details of her death and why she will never be found. It is in the book I am finishing now

I’ve always had the thought that Nefertiti was destroyed. I think her and her husband both were destroyed after burial. They were severely hated because of their stripping away of the other Gods. Most evidence still visible to date has been damaged. Tomb walls and etc have been etched out and tried to be completely erased. Why wouldn’t the same be done to their bodies? I don’t think she or her husband will ever be found because there isn’t anything left to be found. Even the mummy that scholars think is Tut’s father is still in question. Just my opinion

To Kleopatra

She Left Egypt By Expressing Imprecations... Not Necessary To Try To Find Her Mummy.

Also she don't have missing eyes

I thought Queen Cleopatra was Egypt’s last Queen, not Nefertiti.

Documentary that goes nowhere.

How come noone talks about or mention her missing left eye? Did she only had one good eye? 🤔

Why were Egyptian royal families never shown with sons? Does anyone know?

she really looked like Nefertiti..an older one. why didnt try that one? if she can only say.... HELLO? I AM HERE

This old man irritates my soul..

Nefertiti was from mitani

You would not find her mummy. She and her King and Tut can go through worm hole with their bodies. Truth I know !

You didn’t talk to Joanne Fletcher?! Seems like a missed opportunity to talk to a respected archaeologist.

Wait isn’t the younger lady mummy the mother of king tut and sister of Akhenaten

Bit disappointing this documentary also very hard to listen to the lady her voice keeps cracking its distracting 😥

Can i have my musk back please so i can fix my face...geez i mean i live that you found it but we kind of did give you the directions

Nofretete?

Stop with the hands guy we get yy

The younger lady looks like Kiya not Nefertiti.

Have all of their daughters been accounted for?

Eye. Ai. I. A nightmare for those learning English.

It seems a real simple starting place for DNA research is mitochondrial DNA. If the female premature baby mummies in Tutankhamun's tomb are the offspring of him and (half) sister /wife Ankhesenpa'aten, then those children and the mother will have the same mtDNA. It seems to be a certainty that Nefertiti and Akhenaten were the birth parents of Ankhesenpa'aten. Matching that mtDNA to other mummies would not absolutely show us Nefertiti, but any mummy with other mtDNA could be ruled out. Any with matching mtDNA would be on the front line for deeper scrutiny. I think I remember one video mentioning mtDNA in this case but I have never seen the subject explored succinctly or coming to conclusions. There is the Younger Lady and the Mystery Woman. How about their mtDNA? Same? Different? Do either match the babies said to be the biological product of Tutankhamun and his wife who was Nefertiti's daughter? Additionally, do either of these females have the same mtDNA as Queen Tiye, the Older Lady? That wouldn't necessarily mean a lot but it would be interesting.

Nefratiti my bride across the abyss

Goddess Nephertite always said "Your name Meri, can go from sultry and sophisticated to Mary, Blah and bland, who named this child".. Goddess Nephertite named me. My soul creation took 6 billion years so there were many beings born before I was ready. No, before this life, I never new who named me.

None of y'all business

The red spitting cobra lives in Egypt and can make you go blind. Amenhotep IV, her husband, could have been abusive.

Have they found her husband.

I never understand what they think these self made digital cartoons could possibly prove or what they could bring out to make us see anything scientifically? Than we got Eminem’s grandfather telling the real Nefertiti to please stand up like 🤔

Where? I believe it’s in Egypt but if you can’t find it there, it’s probably in British Museum 😇 😊

Tutahamown

STOP looking for Nefertiti and leave her to RIP! (how would you like your relatives to be dug up and brutalized and broken apart?)
