Nefertiti was queen of the 18th Dynasty of Ancient Egypt, the great royal wife of Pharoah Akhenaten. Both Akhenaten and Nefertiti were known to be radical when it came to state religious policy, in which the promoted the earliest monotheism religion, Atenism. They both played a prominent role in the cult of the sun god know as the Aton. She reigned during the wealthiest time of Ancient Egyptian history.

Some scholars believed that Nefertiti may have ruled as acted queen regnant or her husband's coruler rather than his consort before and briefly after the death of her husband until the ascension of their son Tutankhamun (King Tut), but that is still an ongoing debate. However, the evidence is not conclusive and there are no written evidence to confirm her politcal status. If she did rule, she would have ruled during the the fall of Armarna and relocation of the capital to the traditional city of Thebes by King Tutankhamun.

Nefertiti's name in Egyptian, can be translated as "The Beautiful Woman has come". She was known for her beauty and exaggerated feminine body shape. Sources of Nefertiti's death are still unknown due to the unknown disappearance of the queen. There are no records of her death and no evidence the she was ever buried.  Many theories to Nefertiti's death is a mystery. Some think that she may have died of injuries during the plague that swept through Egypt or she may have been alive during the time of 1331 B.C, during the time of Tutankhaten's reign, but none are conclusive evidence.
