Queen Ahmose Nefertari

Queen Ahmose Nefertari "Beautiful Beauties"
She is the daughter of Sekenen-Re Taa II, the granddaughter of Titi Sherry, and his wife, King Ahmose (1550 BC-1525 BC), who ended the liberation wars by expelling the Hyksos from Egypt and starting to make her defense lines beyond the border, one of the ingenious military strategies. To protect Egypt, which was subsequently inspired by military science throughout history, it was nicknamed "First Divine Wife" and "Great King's Wife."
The queen lived 5 kings, and her name was associated with legendary courage, where she was the first woman in ancient Egypt to receive the title of "divine mother", a testament to the great prestige granted by the Egyptian people to the queen after her death, where she held her religious rites in the monastery of the city, and was the first woman in history She assumed the position of commander of a full military division and fought very efficiently, and played a prominent role in the battle that ended with the expulsion of the invaders from Egypt.
Nefertari's mother Ihhotep was the wife of King Sekenen-Re Taa II of the kings of the Seventeenth Dynasty.
It is believed that Ahmose and Nefertari are not of a single father, where Ahmose appears and has the same color as the Egyptians, while Nefertari appears black.
Nefertari gave birth to seven sons, three of whom died, two of whom were daughters and four of whom died. The surviving children were Amenhotep the First and Wahathotep the Second.
Upon the death of Ahmose I, she became the regent of her son Amenhotep the First, and even managed to reach the age and ascend to the throne; it is known that she was still alive during the first year of the reign of Thutmose I; thus, it seems that she was still alive after her son Amenhotep the first.

She extended her term after her husband's death until she lived all the reign of his successor King Amenhotep I, and died at the beginning of the reign of King Tuthmosis the First. This queen was closely associated with some of her husband's accomplishments, until it became clear that she shared him in one way or another, especially since he was constantly ignited by the wars of liberation one day after the effects and consequences, and also enjoyed almost quasi-royal power during the age of "Amenhotep I". In addition to this political role, Ahmose Nefertari was the first queen to occupy the post of divine wife and devoted a set of properties and real estate thanks to a brilliant judicial decision (assigned to the queen the position of the second prophet of Amun, which was immediately recovered by the king for huge amounts undervalued. Real).
In 1914, the tomb of Ahmose Nefertari was discovered at the top of the Valley of the Kings at the northern edge of the Abu Naga.
As a "wife of God" and thus a dominant member of a group of rituals, she reorganized her, adding to her a huge number of tools and things associated with her name. There is no doubt that the high status gained by this, and behind the construction of funerary buildings in order to consecrate her and her son, Amenhotep I, made her the garrison saint of the Taleban cemetery, and was often depicted with this pharaoh in the temples or in private tombs, and even in the sacred temples throughout the entire period of the New Kingdom . One of her most popular sculptures is the statue carved in tar wood, which shows that the body of the queen was often painted in black. She was in her boat in a large procession on major festive occasions, and the procession of the celebration ceremonies was to stop at the funerary temple, and thanks to it was established after that an important complex costing huge money continued income always linked to the function of "wife of God" and "worship God"

She was probably a sister or half-sister of her husband King Thutmose I. Marriage between brother and sister was common in ancient Egypt only among members of the owner's house at the time, in order to preserve the sequence of the line of Egyptian kings from the same family on the throne of Egypt. Perhaps this marriage took place between Brother Thutmose and Sister Ahmose after Thutmose (I) became the heir to the throne of King Amenhotep I.

However, the most important result of this blessed marriage is the birth of two daughters, Nefropiti (or «Akht Nefro») and (Queen Pharaoh later «Hatshepsut») Our queen, whose fame applied horizons all over the world. It is worth mentioning that Nefropiti appeared on one of the walls of the temple of her sister Queen Hatshepsut, known as the Temple of the Monastery of the Sea on the western mainland of Luxor. The curtains of oblivion are then brought to the attention of Princess Nefropiti, probably because she died at an early age. Queen Ahmose remains in the background during the reign of her husband, King Thutmose I, but she jumped to the forefront of the reign of her daughter, Queen Pharaoh Hatshepsut, who weaved a dramatic story in which she claimed that the god Amun, the tenth mother of Queen Ahmose, cohabited with husbands and gave birth to the child Hatshepsut. The Queen Hatshepsut created this political propaganda, or what we have known as the “story of divine birth,” and documented it in texts and pictures on the walls of her monastery temple to gain legitimacy in governing the country as a woman, belonging to the royal blood, who wants to strengthen her rule in the eyes of the people through the prosecution. They are descendants of the gods and the Lord of the Lord of the times, the god Amun, the Lord of Thebes and the undisputed modern state.

Queen Ahmose-Nefertari gave birth to four boys and five daughters, five of whom died young. After the death of Ahmose I, she took custody of her young son, King Amenhotep I. Upon the death of his wife Queen Merritt Amon, the Queen Mother acted as his eldest wife to support her son who died without an heir to the throne.
She played an important role in the selection of the successor to her son, King Thutmose I, who died during his reign and was buried in the area of ​​Draa Aboul Naga on the western mainland of Luxor.
The mummy of the queen was found in a large coffin with the mummy of King Ramesses III in the cache of the monastery. And through checking
Her mummy, we found out that she died at about seventy years of her long life, and that her right hand was stolen by ancient thieves to get her jewelry.
