Akhenaten: The Heretic Pharaoh

Perhaps the most intriguing of ancient Egypt's rulers, Akhenaten is in many ways also the most mysterious. Loved by those that followed him, and his wife Nefertiti, he was hated by the Amun priesthood, who before and during his childhood held the reigns of power in Egypt. He not only changed his name from Amenhotep to Akhenaten, but also moved the capital from Thebes to his new city of Akhetaten, as well as changing the belief system from poly to monotheism. Learn more about him in this book.

Comments

H S Lewis in the start of the 20th century spent 7 years in Egypt and wrote about the vaults of knowledge contained in the leg of the Sphinx. That was before the present secrecy. He said he found a record that the high priest,when transfering the crown of the decease Pharaoh to the new that it was written that he physicaly could not stop at the first son and had to place it on the head of Akhenatin instead. The first son then left the country. I always wondered if Moses story was the part of the passed over name Tutmose dynasty now broken.
