Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

One of the worst Egyptian documentaries ever made. I am really surprised at Discovery Channel. First of all, no matter how much Afrocentrics desperately want it to be, the fact is Queen Nefertiti was a WHITE woman. NOT black. We know this because her poet husband Pharaoh Akhenaten wrote a poem dedicated to her in which he referred to Nefertiti as " FAIR OF FACE." Her world famous bust in the Berlin Museum and her unfinished bust in the Cairo Museum show CLEARLY that she was a white woman, despite the desperate denials of the Afrocentrics. This should have been made clear in this NEFERTITI RESURRECTED documentary. I am not surprised that Egyptologist Joanne Fletcher was banned from working in Egypt after helping produce this documentary fiasco ! But I do hope that the Director of the Supreme Council of Antiquities Dr, Zahi Hawass will allow her back to Egypt to work again soon.

Everything about this program was shamelessly hyped and staged, I was not at all surprised to find out that the face re-created by the forensic artist strongly resembled the actress playing Nefertiti in the dramatized sections (the clear implication was that the artist might have been shown photos of the actress). Even the Discovery Channel is not above producing a bit of "tabloid TV" when there's a chance of a profit.Dr Zahi Hawass, secretary general of Egyptian Antiquities strongly advised Dr. Joann Fletcher against risking her reputation by participating in this program. She went ahead anyway. Later DNA testing on the mummy that Fletcher declared to be Nefertiti proved that it was the body of a MALE ! As a result of this and other incidents, she is no longer allowed to work in the Valley of The Kings, and may never recover her professional reputation.

We as people watch films for a number of reasons. We want to be entertained, we want to be informed, or we want to have something that stands as a reminder of something that we had like a connection we had with someone. This is not a perfect documentary that is for sure, it contains reacts to give you a picture of what it was like to be in the time period of Nefertiti that are at times a little over the top. However, for me it is a film that I fell strong about because of personal reasons. I always think about Egypt and that fact that it is in Afican but yet I have yet to see in a film a person of color play an Egyptian Queen or King. Also this documentary helped me learn who Nefertiti was. I had always seen sculptures of her around and pictures but I didn't know her name.

I have seen this documentary three times and feel obliged to make a comment. It is not an in depth study of the subject. I think it fails to actually identify the place of Nefertiti in history and the absolute power this woman wielded in a time that women were subservient to men. What it does do is pique our interest, as it did mine, to do more research on a most interesting subject. I can remember as a youth, hearing the name, Nefertiti, not sure if in the context of school/history class, but the historical presentation of this documentary filled in the blank spots of a remarkable time in ancient history that has all but been lost. It is not a documentary on the order of Ken Burns, the number ONE producer/director of documentaries(THE WEST, MARK TWAIN) in the world but does offer a base line with which to begin additional research.
