We do not know very much about the woman's origins, or her demise, which only adds to her mysterious appeal. What we do know, however, is that she was the wife of one of the most controversial and radical of all of ancient Egypt's Pharaohs. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Her husband, Akhenaten, often referred to as the \"Heretic King\" started a revolution for the proto-monotheistic cult of Aten, the sun disk. This revolution led to dramatic social and political changes during what was later called the Amarna Period. From a huge upheaval in the traditional power structure of the nation, the outlaw of traditional gods, and even the relocation of the capital of the nation, there were actually deliberate attempts from the rulers who came after to erase this period of Egyptian history from the historical record. And they nearly succeeded. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e What we do know about Nefertiti is that she was stunningly beautiful and incredibly powerful. She was, in fact, one of the most powerful queens in Egyptian history. Many scholars claim that she was the prime confidante, as well as advisor, to her husband during his reign. She is shown in a position of power in artistic depictions that is usually reserved for a king - whether she is shown smiting Egypt's enemies or even racing chariots or leading religious ceremonies.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLosing sense of time through television and technology, many seem to have forgotten about our ancestors and how the world has been shaped to what it is today. T.D. van Basten has set the tone for historical coverage and is admired by many for his exceptional passion, vivid descriptions and storytelling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 84\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.2 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 11, 2015\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52625102111027,"sku":"9781522702375","price":18.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/QjJ2L1J6TmU2Qm9tYithQXk2R1lRQT09.webp?v=1762027080","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/ancient-egypt-the-egypt-of-nefertiti-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
