A problematic personage. She [Nefertiti] was the daughter of Sitamun and wife of the most powerful man in the world, Akhenaton. Her name meant "Beautiful One Who Has Come." She was the mother of Meritaten ("Beloved of Aton") who made her way, under the name Scota, to Ireland. Nefertiti disappears from the scene during the fifteenth year of Akhenaton's reign when a deadly plague began sweeping the land. Archaeologist Dr. Joann Fletcher may have discovered her body within the tomb of pharaoh Amenhotep II. Nefertiti's sister Mutnodjmet was married to Pharaoh Heremheb who overcame the Atonists and attempted to rectify the havoc that Akhenaton had caused throughout the land. Expert on the Hyksos period, author Ralph Ellis, believes Nefertiti and Mutnodjmet to have been daughters of Aye, the priest of the sun and uncle of Akhenaton. Nefertiti has been taken as a prototype for the biblical Mary the mother of Jesus, as Eve, and also as the Old Testament Sarah. If her disappearance was in fact a banishment, then Nefertiti maybe a liable prototype for the biblical Lilith who was banished to the wilderness because of her rivalry with Adam and Eve.

Time is a flat circle. Very serendipitous
