Nefertiti's Name in Unicode Hieroglyphs

With the newest version of Unicode now supporting Egyptian Hieroglyphs, I thought it appropriate to include Unicode text of Nefertiti's name below the cartouche, although at the moment only one font, "Aegyptus", supports Unicode hieroglyphs. Also, I've noticed several comments state that the cartouche is wrong and is missing one glyph. I will be glad to fix it. Wikilackey (talk) 21:51, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fake

Sometimes one hears it said that it was made in the early 20c, someone's idea of what a colored ancient Egyptian sculpture should be (swoon!). The face is based on the full length Amarna figure (pictured in the article). Is this idea worth a paragraph? [1] Stikko (talk) 13:07, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's a very very fringe theory of one author. It was briefly mentioned here, but is now discussed in depth at Nefertiti bust. Paul B (talk) 13:19, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Younger and Elder Lady Mummies DNA

These two sections don't yet really reflect the recent DNA tests of these mummies: The Elder Lady (KV35EL) is now identified with Tiye, the Younger Lady (KV35YL) is now identified as a wife and full sister of Akhenaten, that Amenhotep III and Tiye were parents to both Akhenaten and the Younger Lady mummy, and they, in turn, are parents to Tutankhamun. The actual identity (name) of the Younger Lady is unknown, but it is believe to not be Kiye. Nefertiti has not — yet — been ruled out since her parentage is unknown as well as that there are no mummies to test that we known definitively to be her children. The Younger Lady has been updated, but if there is going to be mention of the Younger Lady and the Elder Lady in this article, it should not ignore the new study results. — al-Shimoni (talk) 22:07, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Remember The Time

Nefertiti was in Michael Jackson's Remember The Time music video too — Preceding unsigned comment added by Levchuk Igor Sergeevich (talkcontribs) 21:04, 4 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well, sort of. Iman dresses up to look like her, but she is not named and her husband is referred to as "Ramesses". Paul B (talk) 13:13, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Iconic status

The "Iconic status" section seems rather redundant (only two "facts", both lacking citations). Is it necessary to keep it? 139.222.80.144 (talk) 16:02, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It should be a potted summary of the information in the "bust" article which includes her film and other appearances. Paul B (talk) 16:25, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I want to record my discovery after a long time of investigations I discover the following :

Nefertiti ruled EGYPT after the death of Ikhnaton by these names : Ankh kheperu Ra ′ smenkh ka Ra ,

 nefer neferu Aten ′ Djeser Kheperu ′ She ruled alone for nearly one year
