Queen Nefertiti

She was the beloved wife of king Akhenaton Famed throughout the ancient world for her outstanding beauty, Queen Nefertiti remains the one of the most well known of the queens of ancient Egypt.Little is known about the origins of Nefertiti but it seems unlikely that she was of royal blood.Her name, meaning"the beautiful (or perfect) woman has come," The famous statue of Nefertiti, found in a sculptors workshop in Akhenaton , is one of the most immediately recognisable icons from this period of history. It has escaped the excesses of the Amarna artistic style, and survived the wholesale destruction of Akhenaton,s monuments after his death



Queen Nefertiti is perhaps better known than her husband The king Akhenaton amenhotep IV perhaps she is one of the best known queens of Ancient Egypt She is considered one of the most beautiful women of the ancient worldNefertiti may or may not have been of royal blood. She was probably a daughter of the army officer, and later pharaoh, Ay, who may in turn have been a brother of Queen Tiye . Ay sometimes referred to himself as "the God's father"
