hey, I'm supposed to write an oral report on either Nefertiti or Hatshepsut. Which one would be better? I've done a lot of research, but it's all the same info. Anybody know of some good resources?
thnx

I would give a slight edge to Hatshepsut...there is an excellent biography by Joyce Tyldesley called "Hatchepsut, the Female Pharaoh" in addition to numerous online sources (do a Google search under the name, also try "Egyptology Online"). If you decide to go with Nefertiti, start with the Akhenaten biographies by Cyril Aldred and Dr. Donald Redford.

Best wishes,

I don't know Tyidesley's book, but I read the one of Desroches-Noblecourt and I liked it too much!!! :wink:

(from this book I took my nickname!!) I agree with maatkara concerning the author's precision in the narration of the facts!! :wink:
