Intro Neferneferuaten Nefertiti (c. 1370 – c. 1330 BCE) was an Egyptian queen and the wife of Akhenaten, a pharaoh of the Amarna Period of Egypt. She was the mother of Meritaten. Nefertiti and her husband were known for a religious revolution, in which they worshiped one god only, Aten, or the sun disc. With her husband, she reigned at what was arguably the wealthiest period of Ancient Egyptian history. After her death, Nefertiti was buried in a rock-cut tomb in the Valley of the Kings and the Aten was passed down to Tutankhamun. In 34 BCE, Nefertiti's tomb was pillaged by a group of tomb robbers, who stole a prized relic belonging to the pharaoh. When Nefertiti seemingly returned to the world of the living and plagued the city of Thebes, the residents of the city believed it was due to her tomb being disturbed. In reality, it was a result of the God's Wife of Amun, Isidora, who summoned the deceased pharaohs using an Apple of Eden that was once wielded by Nefertiti. Her name translates to Beautiful are the Beauties of Aten, the Beautiful one has come.
