Nefertiti (or Nofretete)
)
A relief depicting the Egyptian pharaoh Akhenaton with his wife Nefertiti.
Queen of Egypt and wife of the pharaoh Akhenaton.
| She disappeared from the records about 12 years after the marriage, and her name was defaced on monuments at some later date. A small gold scarab bearing her name, inscribed within the royal cartouche that marks the name of a pharaoh, was recovered in 1986 from an ancient wreck and suggests that she briefly ruled in her own right. |
