Alright, so what do we do now?
Reading time: only a moment
It’s all right, but never alright.
Everything is going to be alright,
Or it's gonna be in the muddy waters?
Has Nefertiti, the beautiful one,
been found?
The leading woman of all the nobles,
great in the palace, perfect in appearance, beautiful in the double plume,
the mistress of joy who is united with favor,
whose voice people rejoice to hear, great wife of the king, his beloved, the great mistress of the two lands— Neferneferuaten.
Nefertiti, granted life forever and for eternity?
When the solar disk of Aten shined its rays down upon all her six sisters
Nefertiti made him introduce the worship of a sole god
at a distance from Luxor for 17 years.
Resting alone
where?
No one knows,
where her solitude is undisturbed, she turns not
to Pharaoh to say:
So, what do we do now?
In the blink of a weary eye?
