[QUOTE]Originally posted by Amun: [QB] Akhenaten - "Heretic or Moses?" [IMG]http://www.crystalinks.com/akhenatenhat.jpg[/IMG] Akhenaten gets a bad rap from a lot of Egyptologists. Many call him a madman. I like him and I see nothing wrong with him except he was a little eccentric. He was the youngest son of Amenhotep III and Queen Tiye. Akhenaten was a favorite son of Queen Tiye and she had some say in the decison to make him heir to Amenhotep III's throne. After Amenhotep III's death, Akhenaten made his father a deity(Aten). He built a temple of Aten next to an Amun temple and a city in middle Egypt named Akhetaten. Needless to say, the high priests of the Amun cult weren't very happy with Akhenaten's new religion. Akhenaten's wife and most devout follower of his new religion was Nefertiti who was possibly his first-cousin. His reign lasted 16 years. No one knows exactly what led to the end of his reign. Some believe he died but others believe he was the personification of the biblical "Moses" and led his Aten cult into exile in the Sinai. His ties to Judaism aren't that far fetched when you consider that Akhenaten's Hymn to Aten is similar to Pslam 104 in the bible. [/QB][/QUOTE]
