Nefertiti, Queen of Egypt, is considered one of the most beautiful women in the world history. Long, delicate neck, delicate features, high cheekbones, large eyes – this is how we view it now. The exterior beauty thanks to the famous bust of ancient Egyptian sculptor Thutmose, and it fully corresponds to its name ("Nefertiti” means “beauty”).
Scientists do not know who were the parents, but there are suggestions that father was the chief Minister at the court of Pharaoh Tutankhamun, and may in the future take the throne. In twelve years the girl was chosen to be the wife of Pharaoh Akhenaten (Amenhotep IV), who ascended the throne approximately in the year 131 BCE. Queen of Egypt Nefertiti rule with her husband, and there are even frescoes, where it is depicted with the Imperial regalia. After her husband's death she may have a few years of the rule itself, which is not surprising, because women in Ancient Egypt were equal to men, were also able to rule, to fight, to trade and own property.
Alas, to have survived did not have enough information to be able confidently to assert something about the life of the beautiful Queen. Anyway, after her death was buried with military honors in the tomb, built by her husband. Subsequently, the tomb was looted, but the mummy was preserved. Scientists are still arguing whether it is Nefertiti or is this one of her daughters. For the first version supports bioarcheology don Brothwell, Egyptologists Joan Fletcher and Susan James. In 2003 even an attempt was made to reconstruct the appearance of the deceased based on the mummy, and the result is indeed very similar to the famous image of Nefertiti. Queen of Egypt, photos of the bust which is known, perhaps, in the world, was not only a ruler, but worshipped 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, her grave was robbed fanatical opponents, and even desecrated the mummy (she divorced one hand and a number of other injuries on the body). However, this has not prevented British scientists in 2002 to conclude that they have found the mummy of a beautiful Princess in a mysterious crypt under the number 35. Their conclusions were justified by the results of DNA analysis, as well as circumstantial evidence. For example, Nefertiti, Queen of Egypt and her daughter was wearing two earrings in one ear (and the mummies there are really two puncture in the lobe). On his forehead there is a trace of the armband worn by only the Queen. And next to the mummy was found the remains of Nubian wig which was popular among women in the era of the great ruler.
Nefertiti, Queen of Egypt, has become firmly established not only in history but also in the culture of the modern world. An extraordinary beauty, she still excites the imagination of poets, artists and writers, and her image appears in painting and literature, and in the products of mass culture. Along with Cleopatra, is one of the most famous women and symbols of Ancient Egypt.
I Must say that Nefertiti, Queen of Egypt, is still considered a symbol of beauty, her image is the embodiment of elegance, the subtle grace and the soulful beauty that is not erased with the years, becoming more beautiful.
