Nefertiti

Nefertiti was the wife of the Egyptian Pharaoh Amenhotep IV (later Akhenaten), and mother-in-law of the Pharaoh Tutankhamun. Her name roughly translates to "the beautiful one is come". She also shares her name with a type of elongated gold bead that she was often portrayed as wearing, known as She was made famous by her bust, now in Berlin's Altes Museum, shown to the right. The bust is one of the most copied works of ancient Egypt. It was attributed to the sculptor Djhutmose, and was found in his workshop.

An Egyptologist, two scientists and Britain's largest brewer plan to brew an ale from a recipe dating back 3,500 years to the time of Tutankhamun.
Tutankhamun Ale will be based on sediment from old jars found in a brewery housed inside the Sun Temple of Nefertiti, queen of a pharoah called Akhenaten who Egyptologists believe was probably Tutankhamun's father.
Barry Kemp, an Egyptologist at Cambridge University, who set off to excavate the temple four years ago, and Dr. Delwen Samuel an archeo-botanist, worked alongside brewer Scottish and Newcastle to find out how the beer was made.
