21 FATOS Impressionantes sobre a rainha NEFERTITI

In this video, we'll explore the fascinating life of Nefertiti. She was one of the most remarkable Egyptian rulers in history. She was a queen, but also a priestess and could even have been a pharaoh. She and her husband, Amenhotep IV (AKA Akhenaten), threw out the old gods and established the sun as a god in the form of Aten. This wasn't good for everyone, but it gave the couple absolute power over their subjects. During her 14-year reign, Queen Nefertiti was highly respected by her husband, her royal subjects, and Thutmose, the sculptor who became famous for capturing her face. Nefertiti was depicted wearing a pharaoh's crown and may have ruled as such after her husband's death, while King Tut was preparing to take over. Archaeologists have been searching for Nefertiti's tomb for decades and may have discovered her mummy. After more than three thousand years, Queen Nefertiti still captivates historians and history buffs. Who was Nefertiti? Wife, mother, queen, beauty icon, punisher, pharaoh? There is much to learn about this fascinating Egyptian leader. As she disappears from scrolls, inscriptions, and other depictions, historians have varying opinions about what happened to Queen Nefertiti. Did she change her name and become the mysterious Semkare, a co-regent ruling alone or alongside King Tutankhamun? Or did she simply die?
