More than 3,600 years ago in ancient Egypt, a formula for an elixir that claimed to remove wrinkles was written on a papyrus. At the turn of the century, Stanley Jacobs, M.D., a facial plastic surgeon from California, happened upon the formula by chance. Overlooked by medical science for thousands of years, Jacobs was immediately intrigued. Ancient Egyptians were master chemists. Jacobs' intention to recreate the formula took him on an eight-year odyssey to decipher the meaning of the key ingredient-"hemayet." This book chronicles his journey to create a serum. Jacobs' resurrection of the Egyptian formula revealed a new molecule in skin rejuvenation, which is scientifically proven to improve the plumpness and elasticity of skin by 30 percent. Is it possible Queen Nefertiti once used this ancient unguent? It's a strong possibility. "Nefertiti" means beauty has come, and each time someone uses the serum, the past and present intersect.

Little is known about Nefertiti, the Egyptian queen whose name means “a beautiful woman has come.” She was the wife of Akhenaten, the pharaoh who ushered in the dramatic Amarna Age, and she bore him at least six children. She played a prominent role in political and religious affairs, but after Akhenaten’s death she apparently vanished and was soon forgotten. Yet Nefertiti remains one of the most famous and enigmatic women who ever lived. Her instantly recognizable face adorns a variety of modern artifacts, from expensive jewelry to cheap postcards, t-shirts, and bags, all over the world. She has appeared on page, stage, screen, and opera. In Britain, one woman has spent hundreds of thousands of pounds on plastic surgery in hope of resembling the long-dead royal. This enduring obsession is the result of just one object: the lovely and mysterious Nefertiti bust, created by the sculptor Thutmose and housed in Berlin’s Neues Museum since before World War II. In Nefertiti’s Face, Egyptologist Joyce Tyldesley tells the story of the bust, from its origins in a busy workshop of the late Bronze Age to its rediscovery and controversial removal to Europe in 1912 and its present status as one of the world’s most treasured artifacts. This wide-ranging history takes us from the temples and tombs of ancient Egypt to wartime Berlin and engages the latest in Pharaonic scholarship. Tyldesley sheds light on both Nefertiti’s life and her improbable afterlife, in which she became famous simply for being famous.

This volume focuses on the depiction of women in video games set in historical periods or archaeological contexts, explores the tension between historical and archaeological accuracy and authenticity, examines portrayals of women in historical periods or archaeological contexts, portrayals of female historians and archaeologists, and portrayals of women in fantastical historical and archaeological contexts.

Its chronological and geographical scope ranges from late third century BCE China, to mid first century BCE Egypt, to Pictish and Viking Europe, to Medieval Germany, to twentieth century Taiwan, and into the contemporary world, but it also ventures beyond our universe and into the fantasy realm of Hyrule and the science fiction solar system of the Nebula.
