Nefertiti Bust
Nefertiti was an Egyptian queen married to the Egyptian Pharoah Akhenaten. The two of them ruled during the wealthiest period in Ancient Egypt history. Some scholars believe that Nefertiti ruled briefly under the name Neferneferuaten after her husbands death. Her reign was marked by the fall of Amarna and the relocation of the capital back to Thebes. Her bust, pictured above, is one of the most copied images of Ancient Egypt. The bust is believed to have been crafted in 1345 B.C. This source connects to the Northeastern Africa segment of our class. Nefertiti and her husband would have been alive and ruled during the the New Kingdom in Ancient Africa.
