We
really do not know much about the intimate relationships of Egyptian pharaohs
and their wives, to be an Egyptian queen Nefertari, to bepresented so clearly
on mouments and temples of Ramses II
and her husband to write her poetry of
love the walls of his burial chamber was very unusual and points to a real and
lasting bond of affection between them.
Nefertari
was the woman most loved by the king of EGYPT until his death after almost 25 years of
marriage. He devoted a lot of work for it. Most of the statues have small
statues of his joined him , and although its size is much smaller than him, the
difference in size was not because she was a woman and he was a man . This is
because there was a god and she was a queen (human) . The way she stood behind
her left leg , gently touch says it all: "I support my king , my dear
husband, myself and push to do everything better. " His answer is back
" My beloved , I believe that behind every successful man is a great woman

Beautiful
companion 'The name Nefertari means and lived around 1295-1254 BC. She was
married to Ramses II when she was 13 and he was 15 and was to be the most
important of his wives for the next twenty years, when the images of her began
to dwindle . Nefertari seems to have died in the year of the reign of Ramses 25
. His place as his principal wife was taken by Isetnofret , who was the mother
of the successor Merneptah Ramses .
However,
Nefertari never says " the king's daughter of EGYPT ," the title would have
been liable if it had been the daughter of a pharaoh, but uses the title of
"hereditary princess ," which means that Nefertari came from a family
noble and during the time she was the queen of Egypt, his brother Amenmose served
as mayor of Thebes. Nefertari titles including " Great Kings wife, his
beloved ," " Bride of fort Bull " and "great favors ."
Mistress of Upper and Lower Egypt "and" Mistress of the Two Lands
" His titles were feminized form of securities normally reserved for the
pharaoh , which once again underlines the leading position of Nefertari and
political power . The question to ask is not Nefertari achieve this high only
because it was the beloved and favorite wife of Ramses position , or does it
indicate that it was a political influence as an individual to fledged ? But
the love of Pharaoh for his beautiful wife Nefertari can be seen in the title
he gave to his she so that the sun doth shine '
Nefertari also bore the title of
"Woman of God" in old Egypt an important religious office that proves his position
as the highest ranking priestess in the cult of Amun at Thebes. The title was
first held at the beginning of the 18th Dynasty by Queen Ahmose Nefertari -
beginning of the 18th Dynasty, and was traditionally held by the mother, wives
and sisters of the reigning Pharaoh . It could be that Nefertari was given this
title to consolidate the power of the dynasty of Ramses at Thebes , as the
dynasty of kings from the north and Ramses II had built his new capital Pi-
Ramesses in the Delta of egypt.
