Queen Nefertiti joined her husband in worshipping the new religion of Aton, the power of the sun disc, and she and her husband were the mediators between the people and Aton, and the full blessing was supposed to be given only when the royal couple was united. During the early years of her husband's reign, Nefertiti changed her name to Neferneferaton Nefertiti, which means Aton shines because the beautiful has come. Nefertiti supported her husband during religious and social reforms, and then moved with him to Akhetaton or Tell el-Amarna. She appeared with him during ceremonies and rituals, in family scenes, and even in traditional scenes of military campaigns in which she is depicted eliminating enemies.
