Queen Nefertiti



Queen Nefertiti OF EGYPT
Nefertiti is famous for its elegant beauty. His bust was an icon for many women and many lines of modern cosmetics. Many companies worldwide have adopted the queen as a symbol of true beauty. Some historians have even claimed his most beautiful woman in the world. Whatever people said about him, one thing is true she is famous for its beauty after his death and during his life as a queen.

Nefertiti REIGN

It held alongside Akhenaten during the Eighteenth Dynasty (1550-1292 BC). Nefertiti means "The beautiful has arrived." She lived in Tell El Amarna, a city built by the Pharaoh to worship their god Aten. There they protected their family and their beliefs, he became the center of the new religion Egypt. It is believed that Nefertiti was probably a distant relative of Akhenaten and Queen to Pharaoh favorite. Nothing is known about the childhood of the queen and gave no evidence that his parents are. Some believe thathis father could be due to Aye inscriptions found in his grave proclaiming himself the father of her sister Mutnodjmet.

During her reign as queen of Egypt was religiouschanges many radical. Hundreds of years of culture and religion had been exchanged for a new concept-radical monotheism. The old gods had not been respected, the temples closed and priests forced to change their habits. Many historians believe this transition could have been hostile and has not been so readily adopted by citizens or priests.
His reign with Akhenaton was unlike traditional Egypt had seen. She was more than just a typical queen and helped promote the views of Akhenaten. His reign was only 12, but it was perhaps one of the most powerful queens never rule. Support the beliefs of her husband, she changed her name meaning Neferneferuaten-Nefertiti, "Aten is radiant of radiance [because] the beautiful one is come." Its importance was greatly appreciated by Akhenaten, and he given a lot to show him that his counterpart. As queen, she played strong roles and appeared in a way that the kings of Egypt made. For example, she was often depicted with the crown of a pharaoh and was depicted in scenes of battle hit its enemies. Akhenaten value so that it also allowed him to practice this art of the priesthood, too, was allowed to make offerings to the Aten.

Many Egyptologists believe that perhaps Akhenaten was born with defects that have hampered his role as king. One of the evils that we thought he was poor vision. This disease could have made his work difficult, in turn, would have been able to trust him Nefertiti to decide many important issues. He had no doubt so much that he went to place his name beside her in his royal cartouche. This was quite unique and may have symbolized his equal status alongside Akhenaten.
Other representations show the couple side by side, often with their children so utopian.In a stele, found at Tell el-Amarna, the couple is seated together. Akhenaten is to give her daughter an earring while his wife Nefertiti has two other girls on his lap. In this representation, the queen is having a wonderful time and is represented in a love affair with her husband and children. The two counterparts are presented as equal in status and family.

THE DISAPPEARANCE OF NEFERTITI

Twelve years in the period Amarna Nefertiti disappears. She could have simply died of a terminal illness, but many refuse to believe it. Little is known about his disappearance because of the damage caused by the successors of Akhenaten. It seems they did not want the memory of his existence and that included memories of Queen Nefertiti.Everything has been destroyed or buried in the sands of Egypt. Although little evidence has survived, it has always been a theory on how it went.

The first theory suggests, it has become unfavorable to Akhenaten. During her reign as queen, she had six daughters. All were loved, expect a male heir was needed to inherit the throne. Perhaps a son of Akhenaten worried would never born and he watched the rest of Conservation, in turn, rejected the queen Nefertiti.

The second theory suggests, she became co-regent of Akhenaten and helped him to rule Egypt. After she disappeared from historical records, a new co-regent is registered with the rule under the name of Akhenaten Smenkhare. Many stickers are Smenkhare to Nefertiti and thinks she did everything similar to that of Hatshepsut, dressed as men to be accepted as a pharaoh.

The latest theory suggests it could try to save the throne by a foreign king mess.Sometimes, during the end of the Amarna period a stone tablet recorded the death of the king, which was sent to the Hittites. The queen who had prepared tablets asked the king to send a son to Egypt to not be married. She asked that it be fast because she did not marry any servants. The king of the Hittites sent a son, but he was assonated on his journey to marry the queen. This theory has been linked to two Nefertiti and although we will

never know what happened to the queen, she will forever remain a mystery. His body was never found. Maybe somewhere in the sands of his body was hidden by Egyptian priests. Somehow, she could be buried in a tomb which was created to hide his abode.
