Nefertiti (or Nofretete) was a Queen of Egypt and wife of the pharaoh Akhenaton. She disappeared from the records about 12 years after the marriage, and her name was defaced on monuments at some later date. A small gold scarab bearing her name, inscribed within the royal cartouche that marks the name of a pharaoh, was recovered in 1986 from an ancient wreck and suggests that she briefly ruled in her own right.
