That it's the same character is the only explanation that makes any sense. Thank you. The link provided spells it yet another way.

I think many of these old names have had a few translations and spellings. After all, she never wrote her name in English.

Nefertiti was married to Akhenaten (Amenhotep), not Ramses, as I recall. Akhenaten, while Pharoah, was a monotheist, and changed Egyptian religious practice to monotheism during his reign. After his death, Egypt reverted to polytheism immediately. Googling seems to say that Moses' time was 100 years later, but he may have been influenced by Akhenaten and Nefertiti's sungod monotheism.

Interestingly, blam posted a thread some time back in which an English Egyptologist claimed to have found the mummy of Nefertiti. She is now no longer allowed into Egypt.

Bust of Nefertiti from another angle. A good looking woman, truthfully.
