The Enigma of Nefertiti: Lost Queen, Hidden Pharaoh

Nefertiti, “the beautiful one has come,” was Great Royal Wife to Akhenaten and central to Egypt’s Amarna Revolution. She stood as co-ruler in art and ritual, helping reshape religion around the sun god Aten and founding a new capital at Amarna. Mother to six daughters and possibly pharaoh herself under the name Neferneferuaten, she vanishes from the record after Year 12 of Akhenaten’s reign. Her life, rule, and unknown tomb remain one of history’s enduring mysteries—her bust the eternal symbol of her power and allure. Resources: Books & Scholarly Works Tyldesley, Joyce.
