Nefertiti

One of the most mystifying secrets of ancient EGYPT has been answered by researches in Germany. The bust of NEFERTITI has been identified with 2 faces!

The stone core of this bust is a dramatically detailed sculpture of the queen.

The prime distinguishing features were the creases at the corners of the mouth, and a bump on the nose. They say the royal sculptors immortalized the wife of Pharaoh Akhenaten 3,300 years ago.
