Hmm...

Tiye-She seemed like a real cool woman, she was involved in a lot of political things during her husbands reign.

Nefertari-She was so beautiful, and mysterious to me. I wish we had more info on her.

Ahmose Nefertari-She held a lot of power during her husband's reign and I believe she was the first queen to be looked at as a living goddess, and a great royal wife??

Hatshepsut-Even though she later on became pharoah, she was still a queen when she was married.

I really feel these ladies are the ones who are sometimes overlooked. A lot of times people like to blow up Nefertiti, I mean she was interesting but she certainly wasn't the only interesting queen in all of Egypt. It'd be nice to see a movie or documentary based on one of these ladies. I haven't seen any. Rolling Eyes

My REALLY favourite queen is Hatshepsut, but I don't neglect Nefertiti and Ankhesenamon too

Ankhesenamun_1 · Posted: Sun Dec 04, 2005 1:03 am Post subject: Queens

Ankhesenamun and Nefertiti, because Ankhesenamun and Tut were such a cute couple Smile

and Nefertiti was so beautiful

There are so many!

I like Ankhesenamun mostly for the letter she wrote to the Mitannian king asking for a son in marriage. This showed guts -- and I'm sure she paid for it with her life. (I don't subscribe to the theory that Nefertiti wrote the letter).

And I like Hatshepsut because she wasn't about war. I was lucky enough to go to Egypt last fall and see Deir-el-Bahari with my own eyes. It's amazing -- all the reliefs about the trip to Punt and what she considered the great treasures that were brought back -- trees, a giraffe, incense. Everybody else's temples are all about "I crushed this enemy, I crushed that enemy." I realize that she really had to collude with the priests of Amun to get all that power, and that it probably affected the pharaonate in a negative way, because henceforth the pharaohs couldn't say "boo" without getting Amun's blessing. And Akhenaten really went to town on her monuments -- he vandalized parts of Deir el-Bahari that Thutmose III missed. I doubt it was because she was a woman -- he was just angry at the Amun business.
