The secret of the disappearance of the left eye in the statue of the queen Nefertiti




“Nefertiti” consisting of two words, “Nefert” meaning “beautiful”, And “Eti” means “she came” or “she attended”, so her name means “the beautiful one came or she came” - and this queen is the wife of King “Akhenaten” of the 18th dynasty, and she bore him 6 daughters.




The statue is more than 3,300 years old. It was carved by the Egyptian sculptor Thutmose around 1345 BC, for Queen Nefertiti, the wife of the Egyptian pharaoh Akhenaten.
This statue made Nefertiti one of the most famous women in the ancient world, and a symbol of female beauty.




In fact, there are several speculations and reasons, not one reason?!
1 ️⃣ The eye fell in the workshop
: “Borchardt” assumed that the iris of the left eye of this queen fell when the workshop of the sculptor “Thutmose” the Sheikh of the sculptors was destroyed, but the intensive search process failed to find it in the ruins of the workshop, they turned a lot in the workshop on the iris, nothing was left.

2 ️⃣ Queen Nefertiti suffered from inflammation in the eyes, and she lost her left eye
: This talk has no basis in truth and has proven to be a complete failure, very sincerely.

I will tell you, respectable, because they found another statue of the queen “Nefert Eti” and her left eye was present and also the temples in which it is located are the same as the whole eye, if it is a defect or disease, all the statues will be like this, not only this.
3 ️⃣ The statue deliberately touches the left eye
: Yes, this is the case, I personally agree with this opinion and most people are with this opinion, and I will tell you the reasons for my choice of this opinion: -

The German Egyptologist Dietrich Wildung, who held the Egyptian Museum for a while as head of the museum, said that this statue was used by the Sheikh of sculptors “Thutmose” to teach his students how to sculpt the internal structure of the eye, and therefore the left iris was not added, meaning the statue was an educational purpose.

4 ️⃣ The eye was destroyed after that by the time factor
: Dr. Zahi Hawass believes that Thutmose made the left eye, but it was destroyed later.


The left eye of Queen Nefertiti's head lacks the lining in the right, which is a yah, as the pupil of the right eye is made of black-coated quartz and fixed with beeswax.
