No, you fool! Queen Nefertiti was the wife of Pharaoh Akhenaten, surely a fine woman in her own right, but none could hope to measure up to my Nefertari! She was as radiant as the goddess Hathor herself, my dearest and most beloved first wife. She was as beautiful, kind, and intelligent the day I met her as she was the day she left my side... The fact that she is not held up as the ultimate ideal of a perfect woman, mother, and queen is surely one of the greatest testaments to the fundamental flaws of mankind.

We did not have "photographs" in my time; however, if you think I would not be able to perfectly recreate her image in your mind with my words, you underestimate me.
[He's forgotten about the clothes, he'll loop back around to those eventually.]
