Queen+Nefertiti

=**Queen Nefertiti**= By: Kimberly Queen Nefertiti lived in Tell El Amarna, which is located about 300 hundred miles south of Cario. It's believed that Nefertiti was probably a distant relative to Akhenaten, and a favorite queen to the pharaoh. Nothing is known about the queen's childhood, but she is known in history as Akhenaten's wife. It's believed that Akhenaten and his queen brought such dramatic changes, that they were disliked by their people.

To support her husbands beliefs, she changed her name to Nefernefervatan-Nefertiti. Queen Nefertiti is perhaps better known than her husband, Akhenaten. Nefertiti may or may not have been of royal blood. Nefertiti had six daughters, and Nefertiti shared her husband with two other royal wives named Mekytaten, and Ankhesenpaaten.

Queen Nefertiti was a favorite wife to Akhenaten for it was her figure that was carved onto the four corners of his granite sarcophagus. Queen Nefertiti is known for her beauty in history. Akhenaten definetly loved her very much.

Twelve years into the Amarna period she disapeared. Her body was never found. After Akhenaten's death everything in the Amarna period was destroid; including the tombs and mummies left behind. In fear of the destruction by Egyptian priests, Nefertiti's mummy could have been brought to the Valley Of The Kings.

Over all Queen Nefertiti and Akhenaten were good leaders. Neither of their mummies have been found yet. Although scientist believe that they have discoverd either Nefertiti's mummy or her daughter's. =Conclusion= Hailey and I (Kimberly) have learn a lot about Akahenten and Nefertiti.
