This review is from: Nefertiti and Cleopatra: Queen-Monarchs of Ancient Egypt (Paperback)
In this clearly written book, the author explains the importance of the two best-known and greatest queen-monarchs of Ancient Egyptian times, Nefertiti and Cleopatra. In the first part of the book, Samson describes the reign of Akhenaten and clarifies the influence of Nefertiti on that particular reign. In the second part, Samson discusses Cleopatra and her association with Caesar and Mark Antony. A very detailed, well-illustrated book, recommended for students, particularly those interested in these two queens.

This review is from: Nefertiti and Cleopatra: Queen-Monarchs of Ancient Egypt (Paperback)
This is an OK book for those who do not know much about ancient Egypt. In fact not much is known about Nefertiti other than what people have uncovered when exploring the ruins of this great empire. Samson does a good job on explaining the theories of Nefertiti and her husband and daughters. Samson spends less time on Cleopatra, although more is known of her. For a more detailed explaination of these figures, try something Michael Grant has written. For those seeking an introduction to these great figures, this is a nice book.
