Who could Nefertit's parents be?

Ay (Nefertit's daddy)

Tey (Nefertit's mommy)
     As you read before, there is nothing known about Nefertiti's past life up until the point where she became queen.  It's almost like she didn't exist.  Because of this, it is not know for sure who her parents were.  Although Scientists do have a theory of who they could be. Can you imagine not knowing anything on someone and trying to some way find out who their parents were?  That sounds pretty hard. They believe that it is possible that she was the daughter of Queen Tiye's brother Ay and his wife Tey.  This would have meant that Nefertiti was Amenhotep's first cousin.
