Description

This new study, drawing at the up to date research, tells the story of the decline and fall of the pharaoh Akhenaten’s religious revolution within the fourteenth century BC. Beginning at the regime’s high-point in his Year 12, it traces the subsequent collapse that saw the deaths of some of the king’s family members, his attempts to ensure the revolution through co-rulers, and the last frenzied assault at the god Amun.
The book then outlines the events of the subsequent five decades that saw the extinction of the royal line, an try to place a foreigner on Egypt’s throne, and the accession of three army officers in turn. Among its conclusions are that the mother of Tutankhamun used to be none instead of Nefertiti, and that the queen used to be joint-pharaoh in turn with both her husband Akhenaten and her son. As such, she used to be herself instrumental in beginning the return to orthodoxy, undoing her erstwhile husband’s life-work before her own mysterious disappearance.
