Bust of Queen Nefertiti
Dahlem Museum, Berlin 1365BC

Nefertiti means “the Beautiful one is Come.” The bust of painted limestone was found by the German professor Borchardtt in 1912 at Tel-El-Amarna, ancient Akhetaton, which was the King’s new capital in Middle Egypt in what used to be the workshop of "The King's Favorite and Master of Works, the Sculptor Thutmose" (also spelled Djhutmose and Thutmosis).

Nefertiti was the daughter of a high dignitary of the Pharaoh’s court, the wife of King Akhenaton who ruled from 1379 of 1362BC., and an influential Queen. Principally she is remembered for her personal beauty and the lovely statue that was carved centuries ago.

Details of the life of the beautiful Queen are veiled by the mist of time. One of her six daughters was Ankhesenamun, Tutankhamun’s wife. Nefertiti's tomb has never been discovered. Her painted limestone bust was taken out of Egypt to Berlin under unclear circumstances.

King Akhenathon, Nefertiti and Their Daughters
Agyptiches Museum, Berlin, 1350 B.C.

Akhenaten and Nefertiti has six daughters. However, it was probably with another royal wife called Kiya that the king sired his successors, Smenkhkare and Tutankhamun.

Nefertiti shared her husband with two other royal wives named Mekytaten and Ankhesenpaaten and later with her probable daughter, Merytaten.

Akhenaten demonstrated a great love for his Great Royal Wife. They were inseparable in early reliefs, many showing their family in loving, almost utopian compositions. Some surviving depictions show the king riding with her in a chariot, kissing her in public and with her sitting on his knee.
