Everyone who has passed by since you founded the earth,
You have raised them for your son,
The one who has come from your body,
The dual king who lives on truth, the lord of the Two Lands…the son of Ra who lives on truth,…Akhenaten, whose life is long;
And the king's great wife, whom he loves,
The lady of the Two Lands,
Neferneferuaten-Nefertiti, living and youthful forever and ever.

The unrelenting Egyptian sun has bleached the gods’ once gaudy temples into romantic sand-colored tumbledown ruins. Tombs have been stripped of their treasures, pyramids of their shimmering capstones. But the allure of pharaonic civilization, embodied in the Western consciousness by its last queen, has proved altogether more resilient.

I had the river mouth prepared like a strong wall, with warships, troop carriers, and merchant vessels. They were all crewed from bow to stern with brave soldiers, fully armed. The infantry comprised every Egyptian recruit. They were like lions roaring on the mountaintops.

“I call to attention the people who shall live in the future, who shall consider this monument that I made for my father…Now my mind turned this way and that, anticipating the words of the people who shall see my monument in future years and speak of what I have done…He shall not declare what I have said to be an exaggeration. Rather, he will say, ‘How like her it is, loyal to her father!’”
