1. Queen Nefertiti: - The royal wife of King Akhenaten (1353-1336 BC).
- She is completely famous for her beauty and was depicted in a very beautiful bust in the Berlin Museum.
- She was part of the royal family during the Amarna period, which witnessed major religious changes as Akhenaten moved the capital to Akhetaten (Tell el-Amarna).
2. Queen Nefertari: - The royal wife of King Ramses II (1279 - 1213 BC).
- Known for her dedication to the Abu Simbel Temple in Nubia, which is especially one of the greatest architectural achievements in ancient Egypt.
- Her titles were "the beloved", and she was depicted in many printed engravings and scenes next to Ramesses II in temples and tombs.
These two queens had a great and distinctive role in ancient Egyptian history, but they lived under different circumstances and did not complete their special achievement.
