The
tomb of Nefertari, from which this wall fragment comes, is the largest
architectural and decorative enterprise ever dedicated to a Pharaoh’s wife.
Nefertari was the chief Queen and favorite wife of Ramses II. The name
Nefertari means “the most beautiful of them”. Ramses II devoted the minor
temple of Abu Simbel to the Goddess Hathor and dedicated it to Nefertari.
There, identified with the Goddess, Nefertari intensely participated in the
divine cult.
Nefertari
gave Ramses II his firstborn son as well as three other sons and two
daughters. Nefertari died in her forties. Nefertari, with a beautiful white
ceremonial garb receives the breath of life from Isis, the Mother Goddess. The
hieroglyphical inscription gives the name of the Queen and her titles as well
as the one from Isis: “Isis, Lady of Heaven, Great Royal Wife,
Nefertari-Mery-En-Mut. Justified”.
