Nefertiti, born in Thebes 1370 BC was one of two children. Her sister Mutbenret was thought to be an Egyptian noblewoman and her name used to be read as Mutnedjemet. There have been theories that Nefertiti was the daughter of King Tushratta and his wife Yuni. But there has also been conversation that Ay (Aye) was also possibly her father as well, but no one really knows who. Ay was the second last Pharaoh of the New Kingdom of Ancient Egypt. He had been the high official of both Akhenaten Tutankhamun and possibly also of Smenkhare. It is believed that in his position as the high official of the young Tutankhamun he was the power behind the throne and some also thought that he murdered Tutankhamun.
