Queen Nefertari is considered one of the most celebrated Ancient Egyptian queens alongside Hatshepsut, Cleopatra, and Nefertiti. She was Ramses II's wife, and she lived during the new kingdom period as a member of the 19th Dynasty. Although scholars couldn't find enough information about Nefertari's family, she might have carried noble blood as she had noble characteristics like reading, writing, and negotiation skills. Queen Nefertari might have been King Ay's daughter and others thought that she was King Seti I's daughter. Her full name consisted of two syllables: Nefertari means "Beautiful Companion" and Meritmut means "Beloved of the goddess Mut". She appeared in the royal scene during King Ramses II reign, as Ramses II got married to her before ascending the throne.
