Royal Egyptian Artifact – "الملكة نفرتيتي" (Al-Malikah Nifartītī) – "Queen Nefertiti" (Pharaonic schist)

They called her “The Beautiful One Has Come,” but her beauty was not of this world—it was carved by the gods and veiled in shadows. Queen Nefertiti, wife of the heretic king Akhenaten, vanished from the pages of history as suddenly as she arrived, leaving behind only fragments... and questions.

Some say she ruled Egypt as a pharaoh in disguise, her face hidden behind the twin crowns of Upper and Lower Egypt. Others believe she walked among the gods, transcending the mortal realm with secrets too dangerous for human tongues.

Her famous bust, eyes wide and unseeing, was never meant to be found. Those who gaze upon it speak of a strange stillness, as if the queen is waiting—for a name to be spoken, a truth to be revealed.

In the corridors of forgotten temples and beneath layers of lost papyrus, her story remains unwritten. But the winds of the Nile still carry her name: Nefertiti, the silent queen of a vanished sun.

Pharaonic schist :

 refers to a variety of metamorphic stones that were extensively used by the ancient Egyptians from 3100 BCE to 30 BCE, This rock is characterized by its layered structure, which allows for easy shaping and carving. Schist is composed of minerals such as mica, chlorite, and talc, giving it a lustrous sheen and smooth finish. These qualities made it a highly prized material for creating detailed sculptures, ritualistic objects, and funerary items. The ancient Egyptians favored schist for its ability to hold intricate carvings, making it a key material in the creation of temple statues, palettes, and tomb artifacts, all of which were often imbued with religious significance.
