My husband was Ramses the Great who ruled over Egypt for almost 70 years. I was known for my beauty and was called “The Most Beautiful of Them.” My power was Ramses’ love for me. I attended many official state functions, and sometimes accompanied Ramses into battle. At Abu Simbel a temple was dedicated to me and Hathor (goddess of love and joy). Unfortunately my life was cut short, but my daughter took my place with her father. Ramses had a beautiful tomb built in the Valley of the Queens with wonderful paintings on the walls. My greatest treasure is the beautiful poetry by Ramses on the wall of my burial chamber. Who am I?
