Nefertiti, Beautiful Queen of Egypt

Nefertiti is known in history as "The Most Beautiful Woman in the World." a queen (too beautiful to describe)
As to the beauty of Nefertiti: it is timeless.

Nefertiti's mystery and her incredible beauty make her one of the most intruiging people of Ancient Egypt.

Nefertiti, or Nefruaten, was the queen of Egypt from about 1380 to about 1366 B.C.

Nefertiti may have been a princess from somewhere else than Egypt. Maybe she was the daughter of Aye and Tiye or the daughter of Amenhotep III and one of his wives.

The beautiful Queen of the Amarna period, wife of Akhenaten supported her husband faithfully in his campaigns, and was given unusual prominence, along with her six daughters, in temples and palaces during in the twelfth year of Akhenaten's reign.

Nefertiti helpled Akhenaten in what was called the Amarna Revolution. (It was even thought that the monotheistic ideas were those of Nefertiti) A monotheistic there there was only one God, Akhenaten believed that the only god was Aten, the sun disc, therefore he "destroyed" all of the other gods and goddesses and built temples for Aten.
The next pharaoh, Tutankhaten, changed his name to Tutankhamun and changed it back to the belief of many gods.

She had six daughters and possibly the next Pharaoh, Tutankaten.
