Queen Nefertiti

Queen Nefertiti of Egypt, also known as the "Lady of Grace", was one of the most powerful and mysterious women of her time. She lived during the reign of Pharaoh Akhenaten in the 18th dynasty of Ancient Egypt, around 1370 BC. Nefertiti is famous for her beauty, as well as her contributions to Egyptian society and politics.

Nefertiti and Akhenaten are credited with introducing a new religion that worshiped only one god, the sun disk Aten, which marked a major departure from the traditional polytheistic beliefs of Ancient Egypt. Another of Nefertiti's milestones was her strong influence over her husband and her own political power, as well as her role in the administration of the empire. Some scholars also speculate that she may have ruled as a regent or even as a pharaoh in her own right after the death of Akhenaten.

Today, Queen Nefertiti remains an iconic figure, and her stunning beauty has been immortalized in many works of art, including the famous bust in the Altes Museum in Berlin, Germany.
