Her origins are unknown - she was a commoner. On several depictions she and Queen Mother Tiaa are depicted as goddesses accompanying Thutmose. In the 7th year the new Great Royal Wife was Thutmose's sister Iaret; Nefertari died when Iaret was 13 years old and thus old enough to become Thutmose's wife.[2]
She was depicted together with her husband before gods in Gizeh, on eight stelae. She was also shown on a stela found in the Luxor Temple and was mentioned on a scarab found in Gurob.[3] Nefertari and Iaret died childless; after Thutmose's death the next pharaoh was Amenhotep III, the son of a secondary wife called Mutemwia.
