The Thirteen Egyptian Queens - Queen Ahmose-Nefertari


Ahmose-Nefertari of Ancient Egypt was the first Queen of the 18th Dynasty. She was a daughter of Seqenenre Tao and Ahhotep I, and the great royal wife of pharaoh, Ahmose I. She was the mother of king Amenhotep I and may have served as his regent when he was young.

She did become the great royal wife of pharaoh, Ahmose I, that became the first king of the eighteenth dynasty, a pharaoh ruling over a reunited country.

With Ahmose she had at least three sons, one of them was Ahmose-ankh that was the crown prince but pre-deceased his father, thus the next pharaoh was his younger brother Amenhotep I.

Queen Ahmose-Nefertari held many titles, was revered as "Goddess of Resurrection" and was arguably the most venerated women in Egyptian history.
He held the position of "Second Priest of Amun", but the most important was the "God’s Wife ", title that was inherited from mother to daughter throughout the dynasty as a seal of purity of the royal blood.
Separately the position of Divine adoratrix was also given to Ahmose-Nefertari. Records from a later era indicate that in this position she would have been responsible for all temple properties, administration of estates, workshops, treasuries and all the associated administration staff.

Amenhotep I came to power while he was still young. As his mother, Ahmose-Nefertari, may have served as regent for him until he reached maturity.

Ahmose-Nefertari is shown to be alive during the early years of the reign of Tuthmosis I but the Old Queen Ahmose-Nefertari died in her 70s and was then deified and became "Mistress of the Sky" and "Lady of the West" .


This Series is dedicated to the great History of Egypt and their legends in part fictionalized but based in some historical elements for the several works.
