Akhenaten and Tutankhamen: The Religious Revolution

Más información sobre el libro

Akhenaten, an Egyptian pharaoh, tried to elevate one god above all the other Egyptian gods, and his son, Tutankhamen, put an end to his religious reforms. This marked the first attempt at a monotheistic religion that introduced the idea of a single, all-powerful creator. But the priestly class and ordinary Egyptians, with all their household gods, rejected the new religion.
