From ~1350-1334 BC a revolutionary and exceedingly wealthy king named Akhenaten dramatically changed every element of life in his country in the pursuit of his self-proclaimed monotheistic deity, the Aten sun disk. He ordered the construction, from scratch, of a complete city in the empty desert sands of Middle Egypt.
