Two Amarna princesses; daughters of Akhenaten & Nefertiti. New Kingdom, 18th Dynasty, c. 1353-1336 В.С. Met Museum.

Nefertiti (c. 1370 – c. 1330 BC) was a queen of the 18th Dynasty of Ancient Egypt, the great royal wife of Pharaoh Akhenaten. Nefertiti and her husband were known for their radical overhaul of state religious policy, in which they promoted the earliest known form of monotheism, Atenism, centered on the sun disc and its direct connection to the royal household. With her husband, she reigned at what was arguably the wealthiest period of ancient Egyptian history. Some scholars believe that Nefertiti ruled briefly as Neferneferuaten after her husband's death and before the ascension of Tutankhamun, although this identification is a matter of ongoing debate. If Nefertiti did rule as Pharaoh, her reign was marked by the fall of Amarna and relocation of the capital back to the traditional city of Thebes.

Akhenaten also spelled Akhenaton or Echnaton was an ancient Egyptian pharaoh reigning (c. 1353–1336 or 1351–1334 BC), the tenth ruler of the Eighteenth Dynasty. Before the fifth year of his reign, he was known as Amenhotep IV.

A statue of a nymph (water fairy), discovered last month during excavations in the ancient city of Amastris in modern Turkey, has been identified as a statue of Aphrodite.

The statue was examined in detail by scientists and experts from Bartyn University and the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of Turkey. Experts have carefully studied about 20 samples of Aphrodite statues previously found in Turkey, and determined that the statue has the characteristics of both a nymph and Aphrodite. Further research showed that the statue was still exactly Aphrodite.

The statue was discovered at a depth of approximately 3.70 meters during drilling to determine the soil in the building of the gymnasium of the ancient city. Scientists have concluded that the statue of a nymph with a height of 1.53 meters dates back to the second century AD.

Speaking about the statue, Deputy director of the Amasra Museum Gyuray Jan Aytekin said: "Our goal was to reach the floor of the gymnasium building, and we found the statue about 4 meters underground."

Lace workers at work. Brittany, France, 1920. Lace is a delicate fabric made of yarn or thread in an open weblike pattern, made by machine or by hand. Generally, lace is divided into two main categories, needlelace and bobbin lace, although there are other types of lace, such as knitted or crocheted lace. Other laces such as these are considered as a category of their specific craft. Knitted lace, therefore, is an example of knitting. This article considers both needle lace and bobbin lace.

Charlemagne's Throne in Aachen. From then until 1531, it served as the coronation throne for thirty-one Kings of Germany. One of the oldest cathedrals in Europe, it was constructed by order of Emperor Charlemagne, who was buried there in 814. From 936 to 1531, the Palatine Chapel saw the coronation of thirty-one German kings and twelve queens. The church has been the mother church of the Diocese of Aachen since 1930. In 1978, Aachen Cathedral was one of the first 12 items to be listed on the UNESCO list of World Heritage sites, because of its exceptional artistry, architecture, and central importance in the history of the Holy Roman Empires.

Detail of the Lion Armour of French king Henry II, 500 years old. The Lion Armour is generally associated with king Henry II of France (r. 1547 - 1559). The embossing, a popular technique on armour of the mid-16th century, may indicate an Italian origin, although there is no concrete evidence, at this time, to suggest it is attributed to the Negroli family.
