I think Cleopatra is an interesting character in the Egyptian history... people have always considered her a great seductress (this is also the opinion of Antonio Spinosa's book: "Cleopatra"), but some time ago an article on a foreign newspaper spoke about a different portrait of the Queen: according to the writer she was an alchemist and a scientist. So this is what I ask to me and to you: why Cleopatra has always been considered a seductress over the centuries, while the scientific aspect was no longer considered?

yeah, there was two nefers. Nefertiti and Nefertari are two diffrent people. and there was more than one cleopatra. here's the Cleopatra we all know, her mother, Cleopatra, her sister, cleopatra, and so on.

Nefertiti and Nefertari are two different people.

Nefertiti, was the consort of Akhenaten. Her name was changed to Neferfruaten Nefertiti, when she and her husband assumed ATENism.


On a research about the queen's parentage, her father was supposed [hypothesized]to be Ay. Ay's wife is Tiye. And Tiye, was a shortened form of Nefertari. [Tiye, was most likely Nefertiti's step-mother.]

There are quite a few women in the Amarna period named "Tiye". The one most people think of when they hear the name was the wife of Amenhotep III, mother of Amenhotep IV (Akhenaten).
Nefertiti was not a consort of Akhenaten, but his "Great Wife, first queen of Pharaoh".

Consort
One who shares the lot of another; a companion; a partner; especially, a wife or husband.
Wife
The lawful consort of a man; a woman who is united to a man in wedlock; a woman who has a husband; a married woman; -- correlative of husband.

A Pharaoh could have as many consorts as he liked, but only one Great Wife.

Nefertiti's mummy has never been positively identified, although Joanne Fletcher believe it is one of those found in Amenhotep II's tomb.
