Name source
The ancient Egyptian word "Nefertiti" means: oncoming beauty. Beautiful, but also the reputation of the Egyptian people after ancient magic.
Among many important Egyptian queens, Nefertiti stands out. It is said that there has never been such a beautiful woman in Egypt ("there has never been such a beautiful woman in Egypt"). However, this woman became the most important queen in ancient Egyptian history, not only because of her beauty. She has appeared in many temples and murals, showing its importance, but in the historical records of ancient Egypt, she disappeared like a mirage, which is really incredible.
Moral behavior
background
The background of this beautiful queen is equally suspicious. One school thinks that she may be Tadukhepa, princess of Mitanni. She was originally betrothed to Amenophus III, but later married his son. According to another school of thought, Nefertiti was born by the combination of Amunofis III and a favorite concubine. In this way, Okhennathan and Nefertiti became half-brothers. But don't believe this theory, otherwise Nefertiti will enjoy the title of "Pharaoh's daughter", but this is not the case.
There is also a theory that Nefertiti is the daughter of Tiyi and Ai (Ay, also spelled AY). According to this theory, her father will be an important official in the court of Amenorfis III, and later become Okhennathan's confidant.
According to this theory, which is widely circulated in Egyptian academic circles, Nefertiti comes from the highest level of Egyptian society. However, Dee may not be the biological mother of the beautiful queen. According to the evidence, Dee is probably her wet nurse.
According to textual research, Tiyi should be his stepmother, and his biological mother died long ago.
The road to power
It is said that her power is supreme. Growing up in the harem, she married the Pharaoh and helped her husband launch unprecedented reforms. When the worshippers' power grew stronger and threatened the imperial power, they created their own Sunism, respected Adon, the sun god, and called themselves big sacrifices for men and women, determined to weaken the rights of big sacrifices. In order to preserve the revolutionary strength, they claimed to give up the ancient capital Thebes and move the capital to Amarna, attracting people to follow. The dazzling and prosperous capital they built in the center of the deserted desert is actually a revolutionary base with three cliffs facing the Nile! In the new capital, Amana, she is equal to her husband, not only his queen, but also his equal ruler and regent.

Ancient murals show that she and her husband each drive a chariot, neck and neck, and there are also scenes in which she and her husband race in the same chariot, which is a unique phenomenon before Nefertiti. It was also after her that Egyptian women had more freedom and rights. They are valued as much as men. They can get a good education and have the right to inherit property. They can sue for unfair things. They have their own thoughts and minds and stick to their own ideas. It was not until the 20th century that women had these rights.
Some people think that she is even better than her husband Okhennathan, because she has the right to execute the enemy, and this punishment has always been the right of the Pharaoh. After Wang Fu died, Nefertiti succeeded to the throne. In order to make too many enemies and bear the final price alone, the country is on the verge of collapse. She stepped forward and took all urgent measures to save the defeat at all costs.
Did Nefertiti succeed to the throne after Okhennathan?
Although Okhennathan and his concubine Kia Tutankhamun had a son, he appointed Simon Kara as his successor. The true identity of the Regent is still unknown. In Egyptian academic circles, some scholars believe that he is another son of Okhennathan and Jia. Some people think that Sminkara is Akhenaton's half-brother, or other members of the royal family.
Smenkara and Neve Furuadon have the same title, which makes some scholars think that Neve Furuadon came to power and succeeded to the throne after the collapse of Okhennathan in BC 1336. However, on the one hand, there is evidence that Nefertiti died in 14, when Egypt was suffering from a plague.
