[QUOTE=mfgoode]Ha! ha! Hail lover of Egyptian hieroglyphs! Haven't you heard of the Royal Plural? Nefertiti herself used it ages ago![/QUOTE]
Of course I've heard of the Royal "we". I've also heard of egomania.

As for the use by Nefertiti, please provide a reference as I've not heard that claim before. In particular, did she use the plural proper when referring solely to herself, or the dual, or both?

As far as I am aware, very few utterances by Nefertiti are preserved, compared with, say, Akhenaten.

:smile: egomania is not so much 'we' as I, ME, and MYSELF'

Paul, you take things too seriously.
So allow me to reply in a humorous vein.
Its simple Logic.
The Egyptian Royals used the Royal Plural as Akhnaten did
Nefertiti was his wife,
So she was royal.
There fore she used the RP.

Now this is simply very silly of me!

Yes there were few recorded utterances of Nefertit I agree
I heard her speak in one of the Biblical movies !!:grin: LOL
