This bust was discovered by Ludwig Borchard in 1913, lying upside down in the workshop of the royal sculptor of Amarna, the new town created by Akhenaten. Borchard had an agreement with the Egyptian government to keep half of what he found. Nefertiti was in his portion. She draws 500,000 people a year to the Neues Museum in Cairo. She is incredibly beautiful and looks like she was painted yesterday.
