it is no surprise that the statues were made in their honor. There are many varying reasons behind the construction of these statues. Because they were royalty, a statue dedicated for them would last forever and solidify their place in history. Egyptians also believed that kings and queens were sent from the gods.

In Egypt in 1327 BCE, there lived a Pharaoh and his wife, they are depicted on King Tutankhamun's throne in what is known simply as Tutankhamun and Ankhesenamun. This time period of the New Kingdom is where rulers had come to have the name of a Pharaoh and Tutankhamun’s familial line had regained their power. Tutankhamun and his queen were half-siblings, and it was not uncommon at this time due to a royal bloodline remaining intact. Although they were siblings who shared a father, they loved…

people of Egypt adhered to all of the pharaoh’s demands and rules, so at to keep themselves and the nation itself protected from malevolent spiritual forces. The king of Egypt was also believed to act as the embodiment of the god that conceived the Egyptian world, a god of virility (Aldred 1998: 185).
