The legendary queen of legendary beauty!
From Wikipedia:
Nefertiti (/ ˌnɛfərˈtiːti/[3] ) (c. 1370 – c. 1330 BC)) was a queen of the 18th Dynasty of Ancient Egypt , the great royal wife of Pharaoh Akhenaten . Nefertiti and her husband were known for their radical overhaul of state religious policy, in which they promoted the earliest known form of monotheism , Atenism , centered on the sun disc and its direct connection to the royal household . With her husband, she reigned at what was arguably the wealthiest period of ancient Egyptian history.[4] Some scholars believe that Nefertiti ruled briefly as Neferneferuaten after her husband's death and before the ascension of Tutankhamun , although this identification is a matter of ongoing debate .[5] [6] If Nefertiti did rule as Pharaoh , her reign was marked by the fall of Amarna and relocation of the capital back to the traditional city of Thebes .[7]
She was made famous by her bust , now in Berlin's Neues Museum . The bust is one of the most copied works of art of ancient Egypt . It was attributed to the sculptor Thutmose , and it was found in his workshop.
