The Beautiful Egyptian Queen Who Confused History: Nefertii

Queen Nefertiti is known to the world as the aunt or mother of Pharaoh Tutankhamun's wife. A confusing array of historical stories are associated with Queen Nefertiti.

 History first questions whether the pharaohs of Egypt originated from an extraterrestrial world.

Reasons for suspicion

Ancient Egyptian civilization dates back about 5000 years. It is still intriguing today. The ancient Egyptian pyramids they built; It has always been a hot topic among scientists, scholars, archaeologists, historians and theorists. 

How could the Egyptians have built such a structure thousands of years ago? Using what technology? And how long? It is an incredible fact even today for the modern scientific society.

The Egyptian pyramids had such precise dimensions that it was almost impossible to build them without the aid of advanced technology.

How did they build such huge geometric shapes? The Egyptians had many gods that were completely different from the gods that the common people believed in.

Horus - eagle-headed man, Isis - protector of the king, Anubis - protector of the dead, Sobek - crocodile-headed man, They worshiped Seth - the man with the head of an unidentified animal and many other amazing gods.

It is very clear that the head of King Akhenaten of Egypt in the 14th century BC took a different shape.

His head protruded back. It can be concluded that such a shape has arisen either because they wear a crown or a headgear symbolizing them as kings. Or it can be concluded that their heads are located that way.

It can also be observed that his wife, Queen Nefertiti, also had an unusually large, protruding head and an elongated skull.

speed of light

3000 years ago, when no one had any clue that the earth was a sphere, the Egyptians knew about the speed of light.

The speed of light is 299,792,458 meters per second and the geographic coordinates of the Great Pyramid are 29.9792458°N.How did they know this?

 Who made them understand that if they were building the Great Pyramids, that would be the exact point on the Earth where the speed of light would come?

How can they have such technical precision? Are they aliens? Are they alien gods who lived on earth?

Historical background of Queen Nefertiti

Keeping that matter as such, it is very important to examine the historical background of Queen Nefertiti who lived in such a background.

Nefertiti was the main wife of the Egyptian pharaoh Akhenaten (formerly Amenhotep IV), who ruled from approximately 1353 to 1336 BC.Nefertiti, known as the ruler of the Nile and daughter of the gods, gained unprecedented power and is believed to have enjoyed pharaoh-like status.

After the twelfth regnal year of Akhenaten's reign, there is much controversy about Nefertiti.

In Akhenaten's new kingdom, he and Nefertiti were depicted as the primary first couple in the sun god-centered religion.

Nefertiti was also famous throughout Egypt for her beauty. She is said to have been proud of her long, swan-shaped neck, and developed her own make-up regimen using herbs.

Her name was associated with an elongated gold bead called a nefer, which she often wore.

She has been known throughout history by various names, (the hereditary princess),(Lady of Grace),(Sweet of Love),(lady of the Two Lands), (Main King's Wife),(Lady of all Women).Applications such as.

Mysterious origin

Nefertiti's origins are less clear cut. 

Nefertiti's parents are not known for certain.

But she is generally believed to be the daughter of Ai, who succeeded Tutankhamun as pharaoh. Some evidence suggests that she came from the city of Akmim,

She is the daughter or daughter-in-law of a high official named Ai.

Other opinions have suggested that she was born in a foreign country, perhaps in Syria.

Marriage and later life

The exact date of Nefertiti's marriage to Amenhotep IV, son of Amenhotep III, is unknown, but is thought to have been around 1357 BC.

She is believed to have been 15 when they married, which is said to have taken place before Akhenaten ascended the throne.

According to historical records, to Nefertiti; Akhenaten had six daughters born to him, named Meritatan, Meketatan, Ankhes-en-pa-artan, Neferneferuatan-Tasherit, Nefernefarure, and Setepenre.

There is no record of any sons born to her, and one of their daughters, Ankhesenamun, married her half-brother Tutankhamun, who eventually became ruler of Egypt.

Worship of Sun God

In Egyptian polytheism, Aten, or the Sun, was considered the most important deity and the only one worthy of worship.

Pharaoh Amenhotep IV and Queen Nefertiti further separated themselves from the "Old Regime" of ancient Egypt and built a new capital city called Amarna to begin worshiping the sun god Aten with their new monotheistic religion and populating the culture. 

Amenhotep IV changed his name to Akhenaten to honor the god.

They created a systematic belief among the people that the king and queen were priests and that only through them could ordinary citizens gain access to arten.

Nefertiti, in imitation of Amenhotep, changed her name to Neferneferuatan Nefertiti. When Amenhotep IV and Nefertiti came to the throne of Thebes around 1353 BC, they began to make major changes in Egyptian society. 

He stopped the religious practices in Egypt, closed the traditional temples, and removed the worship of Amun in favor of Aten, his and Nefertiti's favorite god.

Aten was made the center of religious life and the names and images of Amun were profaned.

During his first year, Pharaoh Amenhotep built a series of temples to the Aten in the Karnak temple complex near Luxor.

Historians, including Egyptologist James Allen, believe that this change was made due to Amenhotep's strong ambition and desire to consolidate power under the pharaohs and Nefertiti.

Queen Nefertiti played an active role in the establishment of this Arten religious culture.

Her husband went to great lengths to demonstrate that Nefertiti was perhaps one of the most powerful women to ever rule Egypt, as a demonstration of her absoluteness for the new religion.

In several panels, she is shown wearing the crown of a pharaoh or slaying her enemies in battle.

The confusion of history

As Queen Nefertiti and her husband, Pharaoh Akhenaten, restructured the political and religious landscape of Egypt, the legendary Queen Nefertiti reigned over ancient Egypt during a time of tremendous cultural upheaval.

She also gained unprecedented power as a woman in Egyptian state power.

Akhenaten and Nefertiti also ruled the richest period of ancient Egyptian history. During his reign, the new capital of Amarna achieved an artistic development unlike any other period in Egypt. She was a powerful wife.

Nefertiti was Akhenaten's favorite wife, or great royal wife, from the beginning of his reign.

Its art also depicts the royal couple as having a strong, loving relationship. Nefertiti also portrays various roles, including riding chariots, participating in rituals with Akhenaten, and attacking enemies.

she is the very symbol of love and hate.

Although Nefertiti and Akhenaten ruled ancient Egypt during a period of unprecedented wealth, their new religion unsettled the empire.

As queen, Nefertiti was loved by some for her charm and grace. She was also largely hated for her active leadership in Akhenaten's sun-oriented religion.

One of the reasons may be because she co-led the Egyptian government with the same power as the Pharaoh. 

She was as powerful as Pharaoh. She rose to power in a way that no other Egyptian queen could have imagined.

After Pharaoh's death

History is confusingly constructed after the death of the pharaoh. 

Despite influencing significant changes in Egyptian society religiously and culturally and co-ruling Egypt, Nefertiti suddenly disappeared.

Queen Nefertiti, who presided over Egypt with her husband for 12 years, disappeared from all appearances.

Although many scholars have concluded that she died, there is still no consensus among historians as to what happened to her.

Some think she may have died from a plague that swept through the region or from royal favour. 

Recent theory has refuted this claim.

Some believe that she was secretly pharaoh after her husband's death.

For some time she pretended to be a pharaoh, wearing a fake beard and disguised as a man.There are also hints that during the time of Pharaoh Tutankhamun, Nefertiti was another power behind him in his reign.

One of the reasons could be that she was the mother of Tutankhamun's wife. According to this theory, Nefertiti's life may have ended by the 3rd year of Tutankhamun's reign.

After Nefertiti passed out of history, Tutankhamun abandoned Amarna and returned to Thebes as his capital. Looking at history, it is thought that the exchange of religious and cultural power for state power has been in this way throughout history, and how decisive a factor it is.

A hidden door in the tomb

In 2015, Egyptologist Nicholas Reeves and archaeologist Mamdo Elda Mati discovered what they believe to be a hidden door in Tutankhamun's tomb.

Inside there was some hint of a secret room where Nefertiti's mummy was kept.

A study published in the journal Nature in February 2020 described a ground-penetrating radar (GPR) survey around King Tutankhamun's tomb.

These findings were compatible with Reeves' theory that the king's mausoleum contained a large, hidden tomb. 

Egyptologist Ray Johnson of the University of Chicago's Oriental Institute in Luxor, Egypt, called Elda Mati's ground-penetrating radar data a clear sign of something on the other side of the north wall of Tutankhamun's burial Chamberlin addition to Elda Mati's data, the fact that Nefertiti's daughter was married to King Tutankhamun makes it plausible that her body was buried in his tomb.
