The Amarna period is also at the heart of one of the largest cartoon projects in Danish history. It took 36 years to complete the series Nofret
with the stately volume that appeared in 2022. The 13 volumes represent
Sussi Bech's fantastic take on what happened in the twenty years when
the historical protagonists in Egypt were called Akhnaton, Nefertiti,
Kiya, Tutankhamon, and many other famous names. The story of their
lives, the history of Egypt and the relationship with the contemporary
world of the eastern Mediterranean is told through the fictional character Nofret. Nofret is reviewed by the editor of this issue of Papyrus.
