Powerful pharaohs, majestic pyramids, silent Sphinx represent the distant and mysterious Ancient Egypt.
Queen Nefertiti is no less mysterious and famous royal beauty of antiquity.
Her name, covered with a halo of legends and fictions, has become a symbol of everything beautiful.
Who was the exalted and identified with the goddess Tefnut, the most mysterious and "perfect" woman of Ancient Egypt, whose references disappeared at one moment, like herself?
The Egyptian queen Nefertiti ruled together with Pharaoh Amenhotep IV, better known in history as Akhenaten, more than three millennia ago.
The sands of time swallowed up that long period of history, turned everything that surrounded the queen into dust.
But the glory of Nefertiti has survived the centuries, extracted from oblivion, she again dominates the world.
In 1912, during archaeological excavations in Egypt, Ludwig Borchardt, a German archaeologist, discovered the workshop of the sculptor Thutmes, which was clearly evidenced by clusters of stones of different breeds, masks made of plaster, unfinished statues, a fragment of a casket with the name of the sculptor Akhetaton.
A life size bust of a woman made of limestone was found in one of the rooms.
Borchardt tricked him out of Egypt.
In 1920, the bust was donated to the Berlin Museum.
Secrets and riddles about the life of the queen were tried to reveal with the help of various hypotheses.
We can say that since then her name has been covered with worldwide fame, which has not faded until now.
For a long time, there were only isolated mentions of it, not much information can be found even now.
There are many versions about the origin of Nefertiti.
The scant information gleaned from references on the walls of tombs, inscriptions on cuneiform tablets of the Amarna archive, became the basis for the development of many versions about the origin of the queen.
The "perfect", as she was called, was an Egyptian, but there are versions claiming that she was a foreign princess.
Egyptologists have built several hypotheses about its origin.
Some researchers believe that she is the daughter of Tushratta, the king of Mitanni.
She changed her real name Taduhippa when she married Amenhotep III.
Nefertiti became a widow early, and after the death of her husband, she was declared the wife of his son Amenhotep IV.
Nefertiti conquered the young pharaoh with her incredible beauty.
It was said that Egypt had never produced such beauty before.
Queen Nefertiti soon became the" main " wife of the ruler.
This kind of confirmed the version about her Egyptian origin, because usually Egyptian women of royal blood became the pharaoh's wife.
It is quite likely that it could also be the daughter of the pharaoh.
It was also assumed that Nefertiti was the daughter of one of the people close to the court of Akhenaten.
The queen struck not only with her extraordinary beauty, but also with infinite mercy.
She gave people peace, her sunny soul was sung in poems and legends.
She was easily given power over people, Egypt worshipped her.
Queen Nefertiti had a strong will and the ability to inspire awe.
Ancient Egyptian papyri, drawings, bas reliefs show that her marriage with Amenhotep IV was ideal, was a symbol of respect, love and cooperation.
The all powerful Pharaoh went down in history as a religious reformer.
He was an extraordinary man who declared war on the priest caste.
He called himself Akhenaten, "pleasing to God", moved the capital from Thebes to Akhetaton, erected new temples, crowned them with sculptural colossi of the new Aton Ra.
In carrying out this policy, the ruler needed a reliable ally, and Nefertiti became it.
An intelligent and strong wife helped the pharaoh to break the consciousness of the whole country and win in such a dangerous war with the mysterious servants of the cult who subjugated Egypt.
Queen Nefertiti attended diplomatic receptions.
The pharaoh consulted with his wife in public.
Sometimes she replaced him with high ranking advisers.
Nefertiti was worshipped, her majestic statues could be seen in almost every Egyptian city.
Most often, she was depicted in a headdress, which is a high blue wig, which was wrapped with gold ribbons and a urei, symbolically emphasizing her power and connection with the gods.
But no one dared to openly oppose the ruler's wife, rather, on the contrary, offerings and gifts of petitioners were showered on Nefertiti.
However, the wise queen helped only those who, in her opinion, could justify and earn the trust of the pharaoh.
But fate, being the most unsurpassed director in a person's life, did not favor Nefertiti endlessly either.
The gods did not grant her an heir to power.
The queen only gave the Pharaoh 6 daughters.
Here, not without the help of envious people, a replacement for the reigning spouse was found, power over the heart of the pharaoh passed to the beautiful concubine Kia.
She did not manage to keep Pharaoh near her for a long time, and it was difficult for him to choose between two women.
On the part of the former queen, he always received a warm welcome, but the ostentatious courtesy did not deceive the pharaoh.
The former relationship between the strong willed and self loving Nefertiti and Akhenaten was no longer there.
But she managed to keep the power over him.
There are versions that it was Nefertiti, demonstrating her statesmanship, who offered Akhenaten Ankhesenamon, their joint third daughter, in other versions, it was the eldest daughter Meritaton.
After Akhenaten's death, their daughter was married to Tutankhamun, who moved the capital to Thebes.
Egypt again began to worship Amon ra and everything returned to normal.
Only Nefertiti remained in Achenaton, faithful to her husband's ideas.
She spent the rest of her life in exile.
After the death of the queen, at her request, she was buried in the tomb of Akhenaten, but her mummy was never found.
And the exact place of her burial is unknown.
However, her name, which meant "The Beautiful One has come", is still the personification of all that is beautiful.
The sculptural portrait of Queen Nefertiti, found in Amarna in 1912, as well as other subtle and poetic sketches created by Thothmes, the ancient master of Achenaton, are kept in museums in Berlin and Cairo.
In 1995, a sensational exhibition was held in Berlin, which united the Egyptian collection, the center of which was Nefertiti and Akhenaten who met again.
Nefertiti became one of the most famous characters in the history of art, the personification of grace and tenderness, who discovered the emotional side of art during the reign of Akhenaten.
The charm of the most beautiful queen gave the artists an incredible opportunity to combine the beauty of art and life in one image.
The queen of Ancient Egypt left behind many mysteries and secrets related to her life, which someone has yet to reveal.
