Meritaten



         


Meritaten was the firstborn daughter of Egyptian pharaoh Akhenaten and Queen Nefertiti. She married Akhenaten's co-ruler Smenkhkare who was probably her (half-)uncle. They ruled together for about four years, but one year after Akhenaten's death Smenkhkare died and it is very likely that Meritaten died at that time too. Meritaten was referred to by her nickname "Mayati" in the Amarna letters.
