The name Nefertari and Nefertiti look very similiar.

Cleopatra!

Because she has a large nose (like myself *coughs*) and I love a good tragedy. Also, she's apparently very vain and I am that too.

And come on, I can just imagine what it was like to have been Cleopatra in the arms of Marcus Antonius .......

Unas,

I know your answer must be accepted with some humor and sarcasm but may I ask , what makes you think that 19th Dynasty Nefertari was the "first badass" with no pressure and no responsibility. I'm curious to know why you think she would be any "lazier" than 18 Dynasties worth of Queens before her?

Quite the contrary, because Ramses II held her in such high regard she participated in political and religious functions and was almost always seen accompanying Ramses II. This is attested by the the six statues on the facade of the temple at Abu Simbel, two of which portray Nefertari as the same size as the King himself!

I had actually meant that Ramses was the first, but I do see your point. She would have had to accompany him with everything... But, aside from my stupid post, I still believe it would have been an honor and a privilage to be known as the great Hatsepshut.

Edit >> as per the Ramses segment, I think of him as the first badass because the heroes before him had never gotten as much recognition; at least as far as I know - which means that in my little world, he was the first. He's like the guy who sawed off his arm, rather than rot, or the fisherman who stabbed a shark to death because it bit off his hand.
