Nefertiti
Queen Nefertiti was the wife of the Pharaoh of Eygpt who reigned between 1353-1336 B.C. Evidence also has it that she reigned independently after the death of her husband and was a powerful figure during the time. Like King Tut, Nefertiti was widely popularized after archaeologists found her statue turned upside down in the sand (buried).
Nefertiti
The discovery of her bust was made by German archaeologist Ludwig Borchardt in 1913. It visualized a beautiful woman who sported a slender neck and fascinating facial features. After more intense scans were conducted, it showed Nefertiti was still quite human, she had wrinkles, minor scars, and a bump on her nose.
Living Through Nefertiti
Nefertiti was the mother of six children and eventually became the grandmother of King Tut. However, as the research went deeper, some quite disturbing truths were revealed.
Living Through Nefertiti
One of Nefertiti’s daughters was King Tut’s mother, but the boy shared the same father as his mother. Does this mean that Nefertiti’s husband also fathered a child with his own daughter? It seems like it might be so. History would have it that King Tut was from the direct bloodline, thus the deformities that plagued his life until his death.
