Nefertiti, Queen of Egypt, 14th Century B.C.


Nefertiti was the powerful wife of Pharaoh Akhenaton. Little is known about the ancient Queen Nefertiti. What is known is that she was a key influence in establishing what is considered one of the world's first monotheistic religion, the worship of the sun-god Aton. Her beauty was immortalized in exquisite sculptures made at the time, many of which survived to today and can be seen at Museums throughout the world.
