This review is from: Akhenaten's Egypt (Shire Egyptology, No. 10) (Paperback)
Amenophis IV, also known as Akhenaten, worshiped the god Aten and banned all the others. He founded a new capital city, Akhetaten, now Tell el-Amarna. This short illustrated book provides details of Akhenaten's reign, that of his father Amenophis III, his wife Nefertiti and his daughters; it also discusses the religious and artistic beliefs of this period. A list of museums exhibiting material relating to Akhenaten is included. Recommended reading for all.
