Nefertiti

Real World Example

Nefertiti was one of the most famous queens of Ancient Egypt's 18th Dynasty, married to Pharaoh Akhenaton. Together, they changed Egyptian religion by promoting the worship of a single god, Aten, the sun disk, instead of the traditional Egyptian pantheon of gods. This religious revolution, known as Atenism, was significant because it represented one of the earliest forms of monotheism in history. Nefertiti's legacy of challenging norms and embracing new ideas can inspire people today to think differently and courageously pursue change. For example, students learning about her might feel encouraged to explore new interests or ideas, even if they seem unconventional or challenge traditional beliefs.
