Williamson publishes stone relief fragments excavated from the site of Kom el-Nana at Tell el-Amarna, Egypt dating to approximately 1350 BCE, the first time relief fragments can be associated
with a specific wall from a specific temple at Tell el-Amarna. She reconstructs the architecture, art, and inscriptions from the site to argue that Kom el-Nana is the location of Queen
Nefertiti’s "Sunshade of Re" temple and another more enigmatic structure that served the funerary needs of the non-royal courtiers at the ancient city. The new information challenges
assumptions about Queen Nefertiti’s role in Pharaoh Akhenaten’s religious movement dedicated to the sun god Aten. The first volume introduces the site and discusses the relief and architecture
and the hieroglyphic inscriptions, funerary implications, and Nefertiti. The second volume contains catalogues of separate squares and color plates. Annotation ©2016 Ringgold, Inc., Portland,
