I chose Nefertiti because she is one of the most powerful women in ancient history. She was the Great Royal Wife of the Pharaoh, Akhenaten, and therefore queen. As most pharaoh's had many wives, only the Great Royal Wife or chief consort was queen. It was the children of the Great Royal Wife whom inherited the throne, as well. She and her husband left a rather large mark on Egyptian history and Culture even changing the religion and capital of Egypt. Transforming the polytheistic religion into a monotheistic religion worshipping Aten (The sun disk) until the rise of Tutankhamen. She was promoted by her husband as co-regent shortly before his death and it is possible that she ruled by herself from his death to the rise of Tutankhamen. Nefertiti,
