Here to the right Queen Nefertari wife of King Ramesses II led by Horus the protection god.
Queen Nefertari:
Nefertari was most likely Ramesses II's first wife when the prince was only fifteen. She provided him with his first male child even prior to his ascending the throne of Egypt. Surely Ramesses II loved Nefertari. From her tomb, we know a number of her other names and titles. They included " Great of Favors; Possessor of Charm, Sweetness and Love; Mistress of Upper and Lower Egypt; The King's Great Wife; Mistress of the Two Lands".
Horus:
Son of Osiris and Isis. He is usually shown with a falcon’s head. Usually depicted as a hawk or as a man with the head of a hawk. Horus was not only a god of the sky but the embodiment of divine kingship and protector of the reigning pharaoh.
