Egyptian archaeologists believe they could have finally found the mummy of Queen Nefertiti

Queen Nefertiti reigned as queen from 1353–36 BCE, when Egypt was in its wealthiest era, according to the World History Encyclopaedia. Before their rule, Egyptians followed a religion that practiced polytheism, meaning the belief in multiple gods. Together, Nefertiti and her husband Pharaoh Akhenaten turned the nation to a monotheistic worshipping religion named Aten, which followed the beliefs and practices of a sun god. But experts say that by dismissing the other gods in Egyptian religion, Akhenaten disrupted the nation's established power structure in the capital Thebes between the pharaoh’s court and the head temple priests. Once their son-in-law, Tutankhamun, rose to power, he rejected Aten and returned the country to polytheism. This resulted in religious leaders destroying monotheist monuments created by Akhenaten and Nefertiti and abolished her name from records. Historians have remained fascinated by the Egyptian queen for centuries though.
