Ankhesenamun

Egyptian queens were more well-liked than Egyptian kings. Ankhesenamun was a queen who was born in 1348 BC and died at the age of 26. Ankhesenamun served as the monarch during Egypt's eighteenth dynasty and was the daughter of the renowned royal wife Nefertiti and Pharaoh Akhenaten. She was Pharaoh Tutankhamun's royal wife and the third of Pharaoh Akhenaten's six known daughters.

Beginning in 1332 BC, she reigned jointly with the youthful King Tutankhamun. She wouldn't have anticipated getting involved in international issues after the young King's sudden demise. She was a "childless widow" due to her husband's early death, and it was her death in 22 BC that brought an end to her reign.

Ankhesenamun and Tutankhamun could have been half-siblings because the Pharaohs frequently married their siblings to preserve the royal dynasty. They held the view that by doing this, the royal lineage would stay unpolluted and pure, and the monarch would always be a member of the royal family. The drawback to this was that the kings later murdered their siblings to seize control of all of Egypt for themselves. Although rumors suggest that Ankhesenamun did have children with her father, nothing is known about her because of her early death.
