[[Image:Nefertiti bust.jpg|right|thumb|250px|A bust of Nefertiti]]
 
'''Nefertiti''' (rough translation:  "The beauty that has come") was the wife of the [[Egypt]]ian [[Pharaoh]] [[Amenhotep IV]], later [[Akhenaten]].  On the basis of her having worn [[crowns]] normally reserved for the Pharaoh himself, it is believed she was the most powerful consort of any Pharaoh, while perhaps less powerful than [[Hatshepsut]] or [[Sobekneferu]], who ruled in their own right.  This would also have made her the most powerful woman on Earth during the 14th century B. C.  Her cap crown was composed of four main colors:  red, which shows power; green, which shows fertility and strength; gold, which shows superiority, preciousness and wealth; and blue, which was the main color used by Egyptians to show virtue, faith and truth.
