Fake Amarna Queen

It is, of course, an assumption that the bust in Berlin is of Nefertiti; there is no proof of that identity other than the shape of her crown. Now there are claims, though I must admit a little far-fetched, that the bust was created early in the last century at the archaeological site at Tel el Amarna.

Dr. H. must be having a good laugh!
