Neferneferuaten-tasherit

< 1 min read

Fourth daughter of Akhenaten and Nefertiti, named for her mother's own added name, Neferneferuaten, with tasherit, 'the younger', to tell the two apart. She is shown with her sisters in the family scenes of Akhetaten and is last seen around Year 12. James P. Allen once proposed her as the female king who reigned after Akhenaten, then withdrew the idea. The series follows the widely held inference that she died in the plague that reached Akhetaten in Years 13 and 14.
