NEFERTITI

Hello I am the queen of Egypt, Neferneferuaten Nefertiti that means beautiful are the beauties of Aten, the beautiful one has come. I was born in the year 1370 B.C in Thebes Egypt so I belong to one of the first civilizations in the world. I am from the 18th Dynasty of Egypt and I am the wife of Akhenaten the pharaoh also known as Amenhotep . I am recognized as one of the most powerful women in Egypt because me and my husband had almost de same power and that is because we trusted a lot in each other but these kind of relationship was very rare in Egypt because normally the queens were just the lovers of the pharaohs, they never took important decisions or have almost the same power as them so that proofed that women can also be important. When I was 15 years old, after I married Akhenaten I gave birth to six girls Meritaten, Meketaten, Ankhesenpaaten, Neferneferuaten Tasherit, Neferneferure and Setepenre, they were the prettiest girl I have ever seen in my life and is not because they were my children. After my daughters were born we made a very united family and we care a lot about each other even dough we were a very big family. I was part of a religious revolution that me and my husband created, in these religion we worshiped the sun god Aten so we made a really important change because from worshipping many gods we just made whole Egypt worship one also my husband built a temple to honor him and it was very big and gorgeous, unfortunately the Aten religion didn’t last very long because years later the Egyptian people changed back the to the politheistic religion and that happened because they liked to worship many gods not just one of them . A whole part of my life remains as a mystery, until these days no body knows exactly how my entire life was but I know that some day someone is going to find out the end .
