Little is known about her, and she is scarcely documented until Akhenaten's first and Chief wife Nefertiti disappears from the record). It dates from the Amarna period.

Mural from the Thracian Tomb of Kazanlak.
Kazanlak, Valley of Roses, Bulgaria; 4th century BCE.

The Thracian Tomb of Kazanlak is a vaulted brickwork "beehive" (tholos) tomb near the town of Kazanlak, central Bulgaria. The tomb is part of a large Thracian necropolis. It comprises a narrow corridor and a round burial chamber, both decorated with murals representing a Thracian couple at a ritual funeral feast. The monument dates back to the 4th century BCE and has been on the UNESCO protected World Heritage Site list since 1979. The murals are memorable for the splendid horses and especially for the gesture of farewell, in which the seated couple grasp each other's wrists in a moment of tenderness and equality. The paintings are Bulgaria's best-preserved artistic masterpieces from the Hellenistic period.
The tomb is situated near the ancient Thracian capital of Seuthopolis.

Ivory figure of a griffin-headed demon, Urartian, from Toprakkale in eastern Anatolia, 8th - 7th BCE. This figure may have been part of a throne, since griffin-headed demons were protective deities. Toprakkale had a fortified citadel with a major temple of the god Haldi. Urartu disappeared before 600 BCE, possibly destroyed by horse-born Scythians.             ANE, 118951
