The editors of Archaeology Magazine want your opinions on possible covers for upcoming issues. I thought that it might be of interest, because one of the possible covers deals with the Nefertiti and what the KV63 coffins reveal about her appearence. If you choose to complete their survey, it should take less than 5 minutes to complete (it took me about a minute). It is interesting just to see how the same basic information can be presented on a magazine cover in different ways, and how you respond to it. Oddly, I found the ones that featured the Nefertiti bust far less interesting than the others partly because the bust has become so tied up in my mind with the bickering between Germany and Egypt over the loan/return, and partly because images of that bust are so often associated with regurgitated discussions and descriptions of the Amarna period. The cover images that, even before looking at the text, suggested something slightly different were far more appealing. An interesting exercise.
