Nefertiti's origins are unknown. She might have been a Mitanni princess or the daughter of Ay, brother of Akhenaton's mother, Tiy. Nefertiti had 3 daughters at Thebes before Akhenaten moved the royal family to Tell el-Amarna, where the fertile queen produced another 3 daughters.
Nefertiti played religious roles in Akhenaten's new religion, as part of the triad that consisted of Akhenaten's god Aton, Akehenaten, and Nefertiti.
As shown in the picture, the beautiful Queen Nefertiti wore a special blue crown. However beautiful and unusual she may seem in this picture, in other pictures, it is hard to distinguish Nefertiti from her husband, Pharaoh Akhenaten.
