![]() Nefertari was one of several Queens of Rameses II, 1290-1224BC. Are Nefertari and Nefertiti the same person? The movie refers to all the kings of Egypt with specific names, while the Bible refers to each one only as “Pharaoh.” No wives of any kings are mentioned by name in the Bible, while a star in the movie is “Queen Nefretiri,” obviously a variation of “Nefertari,” the wife of Rameses II, according to Egyptian history. Nefertari was most likely Ramesses II’s first wife when the prince was only fifteen. However, it is has also been suggested that Nefertari could have been a daughter of Seti I, making her a half sister of Ramesses II. It is very possible that Nefertari grew up as the daughter of a nobleman in Thebes. ![]()
