Neferneferure

< 1 min read

Fifth daughter of Akhenaten and Nefertiti, and the first of the princesses whose name honored Ra rather than the Aten: 'Beautiful are the beauties of Ra'. She appears as a small child in the family scenes and among her sisters at the Year 12 reception of foreign tribute at Akhetaten. The series follows the widely held inference that the plague of Years 13 and 14 took her, with her youngest sister and the fourth daughter.
