Entry for week 55

Nefertiti (c. 1370 BC - c. 1330 BC) was the Great Royal Wife (or chief consort/wife) of the Egyptian Pharaoh Akhenaten.
Her name roughly translates to "the beautiful one has arrived".
She had many titles; for example Heiress, Great of Favours, Possessed of Charm, Exuding Happiness, Mistress of Sweetness, beloved one, soothing the king's heart in his house, soft-spoken in all, Mistress of Upper and Lower Egypt, Great King's Wife, whom he loves, Lady of the Two Lands, Nefertiti'. Nefertiti and her husband were known for changing Egypt's religion from a polytheistic religion, to a monotheistic religion. They believed only in the sun god, Aten. Nefertiti was known throughout Egypt for her beauty. (Wikipedia [link] )
