Egypt: Akhenaten and Nefertiti * Bartimaeus is closely associated with the heretic pharaoh and his wife around this time, and seems to be a favourite of Nefertiti in particular. * Bartimaeus claims to have personally delivered the anklet to her. * A few years later he is involved in the overthrow of Akhenaten, a coup engineered by the High Priests of Ra, and for this Nefertiti never forgives him.
