How old was Nefertiti when she married Akhenaten?
13 years old
Was Nefertiti Smenkhkare's co regent?
Nefertiti didn't disappear off the scene as quickly as some scholars believe. As Ankhetkheprure Neferneferuaten first appears when Nefertiti disappears. The feminine 'et' is the the name Ankh(et)kheprure, meaning it is a female. After, Akhenaten changed the religion, Nefertiti changed her name to Neferneferuaten. Smenkhkare was roughly 19 years old when he took the throne and was most likely of poor health, and his name appears very close to Ankhetkheprure Neferneferuaten's. His name is the masculine form meaning it is a male: Ankhkheprure (notice there is no 'et'), Smenkhkare Djeserkheperu. This could possibly mean Nefertiti was a co regent for her son or stepson, being nineteen, he was not Akhenaten's brother or uncle as thought, thus related though Akhenaten though marriage or blood and could be his son or son in law. Nefertiti did not die in the 17th year of Akhenaten's reign but lived right though Smenkhkare's short lived reign and reigned for two years after his reign and was probably a co regent for a young Tutankhaten. She probably died in Tutankhamun's reign. As Meritaten became Smenkhkare's 'Great Royal Wife' and her only husband was Smenkhkare, their child would have been Meritaten Tasherit. Smenkhkare and Nefertiti-Neferneferuaten were co reigning with Akhenaten later in his reign, thus Smenkhkare was a co-ruler and was training for being king. Smenkhkare thus being a son in law can't take the throne, thus had to be Akhenaten's oldest son, and with Nefertiti as his co-ruler would have to be his mother. Tutankhamun being the youngest son was not in line for the throne, and was not trained to be king. It wasn't until Nefertiti became his co regent, his training began. Nefertiti being his co regent as well, would also have to be his mother as well. Thus Akhenaten and Nefertiti married earlier than previously thought, had two sons: Smenkhkare and Tutankhaten or Tutankhamun and six daughters: Queen Meritaten (Smenkhkare's wife), Meketaten, Queen Ankhesenpaaten (Tutankhamun's wife, most likely they had three daughters: Ankhesenpaaten Tasherit, and two others that were stillborn), Neferneferuaten Tasherit, Neferneferure (she married a Babyilon prince), Setepenre and possibly another daughter who died infancy and is pictured in Meketaten's funeral. Kiya and Akhenaten had only one daughter, no sons.
How many sons did Queen Nefertiti have?
Queen Nefertiti and Pharaoh Akhenaten had two sons: the oldest was Smenkhkare, who was born three years before Akhenaten's reign, proving that Akhenaten did not marry Nefertiti as a king but as a prince, and his parents became his co regents and his reign was for 3 years, he married Meritaten later in his father's reign, they had one daughter: Meritaten Tasherit and possibly one son but this has not been proven. Smenkhkare kept the Aten and died young possibly of poor health or from poisoning. If Smenkhkare was a brother or uncle of Akhenaten, he would not have ruled, it would have been Tut, however Smenkhkare was Akhenaten's offical and legal successor thus his oldest son, it is most likely Smenkhkare was Akhenaten's favourite son as Akhenaten never states Tutankhamun is his son, but is only called ".. King's son, his beloved Tutankhamun.." tut never states Akhenaten is his father either, showing that they never acknowledge each other. Smenkhkare is called Akhenaten's beloved, a title for royal children, is called the son of Ra, and his name is shown close to Nefertiti's, showing he is a favourite of the royal couple. Tutankhamun was the last and second son of Nefertiti. It is possible that she was his co regent, however she doesn't seem to want him on the throne, reigning two years before him, perhaps it was just like Akhenaten, who was rejected by Amun and the other gods, his family and friends, Tutankhamun was rejected by his father, brother, mother, sisters except for Ankhesenpaaten and the Aten. Thus, he changed the religion to the old gods, who he felt would not rejected him, he also turned to his grandfather, who was long dead, calling him his father and oddly enough, his grandfather states that Tut is the son of his body as one of Amenhotep III's titles was Nebkheperure. However it is possible that Amenhotep III is instead of Akhenaten, Tutankhamun's father.
How long did Queen Nefertiti's reign?
The length of Nefertiti's reign is unknown. After year 12 of her husband's reign she dissapeared. Some theories state she died but others say she disguised herself under the male identity of Smenkhkare and continued ruling after her husband, Akenaten.
