Akhenaten reigned as a powerful ancient Egyptian pharaoh during the 18th Dynasty, holding court for nearly two decades before meeting his untimely demise around 1336 BC or 1334 BC. As Akhenaten's devoted partner, Nefertiti played the role of esteemed queen and Great Royal Wife to this Egyptian Pharaoh, a position she maintained with distinction throughout her reign. Nefertiti and her husband spearheaded a groundbreaking religious revolution, centered on the worship of Aten, or the radiant sun disc, a singular deity that would forever change the face of Egyptian spirituality.
