Caren Krutsinger Poet Rhyme

Nefertiti the Bearded Queen

Nefertiti the bearded queen
Began her royal life at fifteen
Wooed and wed by Pharaoh Akhenaten
Ancient Egypt never was this rich again.

Nefertiti “the beautiful one has come”
Had six daughters, but unfortunately lost one.
She and her husband Pharaoh Akhenaten
Started worshipping only one god – the Sun.

Nefertiti went from Great Royal Wife
Promoted to co-regent without much strife
When her husband Pharaoh Akhenaten died, 
It elevated her to rule beside his spiritual side

She was considered equal to a pharaoh now
Her legacy of changing religion is now a wow
Mansion of Benben temple dedicated to her
Visit the tombs, and hear her purr.

Darlene De Beaulieu March 3, 2022 at 3:47 PM Hello Caren, Egypt has a very interesting history. May people go there to tour the sites of history. Hugs. Darlene De Beaulieu March 4, 2022 at 6:58 AM Hello Caren, I have been there several years ago. it was an interesting tour. i bought myself the Nerfertiti necklace. She will enjoy this history of the the past. Hugs. Caren Krutsinger March 3, 2022 at 8:45 PM I love the history; my friend is there right now on a tour.

L Milton Hankins March 2, 2022 at 10:02 PM Very interesting, Caren. I'm not up on my Egyptian history, so I'll take your word for it. I always thought it strange that she is portrayed with a beard. Do you know why? Guess I need to Google her. Caren Krutsinger March 3, 2022 at 12:20 AM Because Pharaohs were supposed to be men, so she wore a fake beard, so she could get full support from the commoners.
