Episode notes

Very few figures in history are recognizable from their silhouettes, but included in this small group is Nerfertiti, one of the most famous queens of Ancient Egypt. Professor Joyce Tyldesley speaks to Tristan not only about the famous image of Nefertiti, but also about the theories on her life, death and burial. Joyce is a professor at the University of Manchester and an expert on the role of women in Ancient Egypt.
