Description: Follows the six-year effort of a team of archeologists to reconstruct on paper the fabulous Egyptian temple of Nefertiti, which existed 3,500 years ago. Explains that in 1965 Ray Winfield Smith discovered that there were 35,000 carved sandstone blocks stored in warehouses and strewn haphazardly about the outskirts of Karnak, Egypt, and how, with several other researchers, he used a computer to catalog the blocks and match them with each other. Records how these blocks turned out to be part of a huge, pillared courtyard honoring Egyptian Pharaoh Akhenaten's queen, Nefertiti. Discusses what this project has revealed about Egyptian history, art, and culture.
