| And in the utter desolation of the desert, Akhenaten declares his unfettered love. |
|
| Aten, as Akhenaten called his god, was the creative force of the universe and as such was symbolised by the sun disc with rays radiating outward. |
|
| The epithet post-dates the death of Akhenaten, who kept his monotheistic faith until the end. |
|
| Fear and horror became a routine in Kemet while Akhenaten was blind and deaf to the cries of his people. |
|
| Over time, the process of restoration of traditional cults turned to whole-scale obliteration of all things associated with Akhenaten. |
|
| Aten was the god of the solar disk who was monotheistically worshipped by Akhenaten, a religious theory which only lasted for one reign. |
|
| Akhenaten and Nefertiti built a beautiful city near Thebes called Amarna, which was dedicated to the worship of Aten. |
|
| Nonetheless, many subjects, such as Akhenaten and some other Egyptian pharaohs, can be recognised by their distinctive features. |
|
| Akhenaten, who tried to impose monotheism with the worship of Aten, the sun disc, later fathered the famed boy king Tutankhamun. |
