Hi guys, this world is a mysterious place with a whole lot of mysteries in it.
There is one such mysterious mystery (Try to say mysterious mystery faster three times, it’s a tongue twister!) that has puzzled thousands of archaeologist around the world. It is a mystery about the life of Egypt’s most powerful and respectful queen, Queen Nefertiti.
Nefertiti was born in the year 1390 B.C.E. (Before Common Era). Her name meant ‘The Beautiful One Has Come’.
Though her mummy has not been found, there are lots of pictures telling how she looked, and the power she had.
Her family consisted of:
- Akhenaton (her husband)
- Kiya(her husband’s second wife)
- Queen Ti (her mother in law)
- Tutankhamen(some people say he was Kiya’s son while others say he was Nefertiti’s)
- Meritaten, Meketaten, Ankhesenamun, Setepenre, Neferneferuate tasherit and Nefereferure. (Her daughters, by the ways are you able to read their names? He he! For your information Tutankhamen married Anekhsenamun.)
- Her sister Mutnedjmet
Nefertiti was a great horse rider. Her statues show her beauty and grace. Her pictures are also on all her family member’s tombs, showing how important she was but mysteriously only the carving of her crown is showed in all these pictures. Her bust was found in 1912 showing her long neck, graceful smile and huge crown.
Recently, radar scans have found two hidden rooms behind Tutankhamen’s burial tomb. Some archaeologist believe that in one of these rooms lies Nefertiti herself. They say they need one more month to find the truth.
But during this hustle-bustle of going inside these rooms, one of the leading archaeologist Dr Zahi Hawass is skeptical if there are any mummies in these rooms.
I myself believe that there are some more of Tutankhamen’s treasures in these rooms!!
It also raises questions like:
If her statues and pictures are found here and there then where is her mummy?
Why was she given so much power, and what was her life like?
Please tell me what are your thoughts about her. I like mysteries and this mystery is not uncovered yet, it’s my dream to find her mummy myself and also to uncover the secret of her life.
