Nefertiti, Queen of Egypt, is considered one of the most beautiful women in the world history.The long graceful neck, thin facial features, high cheekbones, large eyes - such we see it now.Physical beauty is known for the ancient Egyptian bust of the sculptor Thutmose, and it fully corresponds to its name ("Nefertiti" means "Beauty is").
Scientists do not know who were the parents, but there is speculation that her father served as the chief minister at the court of King Tut and possibly later took the throne.In twelve years, she was elected to the wife of Pharaoh Akhenaten (Amenhotep IV), who ascended the throne in about 131 BC.Egyptian Queen Nefertiti rule together with her husband, and even have frescoes, where she portrayed with the royal regalia.After the death of her husband she may rule for several years myself, what is not surprising, because women in ancient Egypt were equal with men, and could rule, fight, trade and own property.
Alas, to have survived enough information so that you can confidently assert something about the life of a great queen.Anyway, after the death of her honorably buried in the tomb built by her husband.Subsequently, the crypt was looted, but the mummy preserved.Scientists are still debating it belongs to Nefertiti, and this is one of her daughters.For the first version appears Bioarchaeology Don Brotvell, Egyptologists Joan Fletcher and Susan James.In 2003, even the attempt was made to reconstruct the appearance of the deceased, relying on a mummy, and the result is really very similar to a famous image of Nefertiti.Queen of Egypt, photos of the bust is known, perhaps, throughout the world, was not only a ruler, but also revered as a goddess.The most famous and beautiful of the wives of Egyptian rulers, she lived in a luxurious palace on the east bank of the Nile River.
When Nefertiti, Queen of Egypt, died and was buried, the grave looted fanatical opponents, and even desecrated mummy (she divorced one hand and a number of other injuries on the body).However, this did not prevent the British scientists in 2002 concluded that they had found the mummy was a great ruler in the mysterious crypt at number 35. Their findings substantiated the results of DNA analysis, as well as indirect evidence.For example, only Nefertiti, Queen of Egypt, and her daughter wore two earrings in one ear (and mummy does have two punctures in the lobe).On the forehead there is a trace of the bandages, which were only queen.And next to the mummy were found the remains of a Nubian wig that was popular with women is in a great era ruler.
Nefertiti, Queen of Egypt, firmly established not only in history but also in the culture of the modern world.The extraordinary beauty, it still excites the imagination of poets, artists and writers, and the way it appears in painting and literature, and in the products of mass culture.Along with Cleopatra, this is one of the most famous women and symbols of ancient Egypt.
I must say that of Nefertiti, queen of Egypt, it is still considered a symbol of beauty and her image personification of elegance, grace and subtle beauty that inspired that does not disappear with age, becoming more beautiful.
