Okay,so I know I've been saying how Akhenaten and Nefertiti always make their decisions together, but Pharaoh Akhenaten is not who you think he is! Pharaoh Akhenaten.......is a cheater!! The Pharaoh had two wives, Nefertiti (his royal wife) and Kiya (his lower class wife). If you ask me....THAT'S JUST WRONG!!
 |
| Akhenaten-Nefertiti's husband |
 |
| Kiya-Akhenaten's lower wife |
But Nefertiti didn't mind because this was actually normal in Ancient Egypt....yeah I know it's crazy! Even though Nefertiti was only one out of two wives of Pharaoh Akhenaten, she was the principle wife so she had the most power. She ruled a cult of monotheistic religion and made the cult protect HER. From the remains of the Egyptian temples her picture showed up 2x more than her daughters and husband,the king/Pharaoh! So whenever you think your little brother or sister is spoiled think about how spoiled Queen Nefertiti was!
Thats just wrong about him cheating on Nefertiti! I think he was a mean kind of guy for doing that! Good info so far!
ReplyDeletelots of good detal very interesting
ReplyDeleteWOW! Like you said, I thought my sister was spoiled but I guess not as much as Neferetiti. Very good infomation! Good job buddy!
ReplyDeleteOhhh myyy!!!!! Madison!! Your blog is so amazing so far!!! I wish my blog was this good! :-)
ReplyDeleteActually 2 wives were very little wives compared to many past pharous(however u spell it) so he wasnt really cheating its just that the priests would not allow him to go on to the otherlife without more than one wife
ReplyDeleteHello, where did you get that pic of Kiya? It is incorrect and not her! If you are a fan of Nefertiti obviously you know there are few images of Kiya, the lesser wife and perhaps mother of Tutankhamun YL35.) Theere was no cheating, it was common to keep the royal line to wed your other wives and daughters even! Good luck in learning alot more.
