Introduction

New Amarna was the first in the revival of role-plays in the Amarna group. Founding members of the RP at AncientSites were (in order of picking up a character) Rahulchand Amenhotep, Nefertiti23 Hatshepsut (AKA Nefertiti Sobkneferu), Tutankhamen Meritamen, Ankhesenamen Meritamen, Anaxarete Valerius, Melon Junius, Kiyanefere Amenhotep, and Mayati Amenhotep.
