Aten and the Amarna Revolution

One pharaoh. One god. Seventeen years that Egypt tried to forget.

Aten and the Amarna Revolution

Akhenaten dissolves Egypt's ancient priesthoods, builds a city in the desert dedicated to the solar disk Aten, and composes the Great Hymn to the Aten, only for his revolution to be dismantled and his name erased after his death.
