Nefertiti's Disappearance: The Mystery of Queen Nefertiti Soon after Akhenaton's 12th regnal year, one of the princesses died, three disappeared, and Nefertiti vanished. The simplest inference is that Nefertiti also died, but there is no record of her death and no evidence that she was ever buried in the Amarna royal tomb. Her body has never been found. #shorts #mystery #nefertiti #egypt #touristattraction #egypthistory #pyramid #tourandtravel #topplace #bestplaces #naturalwonders #egyptqueen #wonderfulplaces #nature #exploreworld How did Nefertiti disappear? There have been many theories offered to explain her abrupt disappearance and, among these are: She fell out of favor with her husband because she could not produce a male heir and so was replaced by Kiya. She abandoned the religion of Aten and was banished by Akhenaten. Was Nefertiti's tomb ever found? This means that Nefertiti's tomb was not found. Hawass said, "There is no scientific evidence proving the theory that Queen Nefertiti was buried inside Tutankhamun's tomb. We believe that Nefertiti could be buried in the western valley next to the tomb of King Amenhotep III." What happened to Nefertiti tomb? We've found dozens of royal tombs, but Nefertiti's remains a secret. In 2015, a British Egyptologist named Nicholas Reeves announced a dramatic theory: the tomb of Nefertiti wasn't hiding in the desert, it was hiding in the tomb of her stepson, Tutankhamun. Who was the most beautiful Egyptian queen?

00:00The Disappearance of Egyptian Queen Nefertiti
00:02Nefertiti was perhaps one of the most powerful women ever to have ruled.
00:06Her husband went to great lengths to display her as an equal. In several reliefs,
00:10she is shown wearing the crown of a pharaoh or smiting her enemies in battle.
00:14But despite this great power, Nefertiti disappears from all depictions after 12 years.
00:19She was among the few women who ruled over Egypt but nobody has ever found her resting place.
00:24Archaeologists tried their best to search her tomb.
00:26In 2018, they were almost convinced that they had found her tomb but they were wrong.
00:32Surprisingly there is no mention of her death in Egyptian history.
00:37Some believe she changed her name after becoming pharaoh while others say she was never a pharaoh at
00:41all. After presiding over ancient Egypt with unprecedented power, Queen Nefertiti mysteriously
00:47vanished from the historical record in 1336 BC. But some believe she secretly took her husband's
00:54place as pharaoh after he died.
