Neferneferuaten Nefertiti (c. 1370 — c. 1330 BC) was an Egyptian queen and the Great Royal Wife of Akhenaten, an Egyptian Pharaoh. Nefertiti and her husband were known for a religious revolution, in which they worshiped one god only, Aten, or the sun disc. With her husband, she reigned at what was arguably the wealthiest period of Ancient Egyptian history. Some scholars believe that Nefertiti ruled briefly as Neferneferuaten after her husband’s death and before the accession of Tutankhamun. If Nefertiti did rule as Pharaoh, her reign was marked by the fall of the capital city newly established and built by the Akhenaten, and relocation of the capital back to the traditional city of Thebes.
