Nefertiti

Nefertiti, born in 1370 BC, was the Queen of Egypt and Great Royal Wife of Pharaoh Akhenaten. Research conducted indicates that Nefertiti may have ruled Egypt on her own, under the name Neferneferuaten, for a short time after her husband's death, and before Tutankhamun took the throne.

It is unknown when Nefertiti actually died, but research has shown that written accounts of her disappeared after 1330 BC. Some believe she may have died suddenly from a plague that swept through the area, or by a different natural cause.
