This article is about the Egyptian Queen. For the Miles Davis album, see
Nefertiti (album). Nefertiti (prounounced at the time something like *nafratiːta) (c.
1370 BC - c.
1330 BC) was the
Great Royal Wife (or chief consort/wife) of the
Egyptian Pharaoh Akhenaten. She was the mother-in-law and probable stepmother of the Pharaoh
Tutankhamun. Nefertiti may have also ruled as pharaoh in her own right under the name Neferneferuaten briefly after her husband's death and before the accession of Tutankhamun, although this identification is doubted by the latest research. Her name roughly translates to "the beautiful (or perfect) woman has come". She also shares her name with a type of elongated gold bead, called nefer, that she was often portrayed as wearing.She looked very sexy whem she was wearing them and gave Akhenaten a erection every time he saw her. She was made famous by her
bust, now in
Berlin's Altes Museum, shown to the right. The bust is one of the most copied works of
ancient Egypt. It was attributed to the sculptor
Thutmose, and was found in his
workshop. The bust itself is notable for exemplifying the understanding Ancient Egyptians had regarding realistic facial proportions.
