Dear Group, This notice is to tell you that there is now a website for the Avis- Pirum Network, which this group is a part of. It gives information about the...
Ever since her bust was discovered little over a century ago, Nefertiti's position as a relatively minor queen has evolved rapidly. However, despite her...
... I don't think there has been any proposed idea that Nefertiti was a 'minor' queen - her high status during the Amarna period was secure from the...
Hello barabalou! What I meant in regard to 'minor' was the general lack of information about her. And yes, I do see her as some sort of ancient Eva Perón - ...
Well, Brandon, I mean a blend of both. You need a strong economy in order to fund an effective armed force. I believe the reason why Rome was able to overcome...
Unfortunately, due to this period's haziness, we can't be 100% on everything. If Nefertiti were indeed the brains behind the entire Atenist reformation; was...
I think part of the answer must go back to the old bugaboo of a co-regency. If there WAS a coregency, then Akhenaton and Nefertiti were probably both pawns in...

... If Nefertiti is Smenhkhkare or even "King Neferneferuaten Ankhkheperura" (take your pick), then she wasn't committed to Atenism, as "King Neferneferuaten...
... regency. ... probably both pawns in someone else's plan. Most likely AMenhotep III or Tye. I can easily see Tye as the brains behind the whole thing. WE...
I can't really see Tiye being the mastermind behind Atenism though I don't deny there is evidence of Atenism rising during Amenhotep III's reign. However, the...
I also don't see Tiye which such influence. Maybe she lost power once Akhenaten reach his majority, if we'll believe in the Amarna Letters. But I don't think...

Nefertiti didn't commit Regicide, but she did rule as Smenkhare. As for being the "brains" behind the Atenist reformation, all I can say is that her ambitious...
... Actually, it's been shown by Allen and some others that Nefertiti as king does not equate with Smenkhkare. If Nefertiti ruled, she ruled as a separate...
