Even though this book is listed as fiction, it is not. Daniel Blair Stewart has explained on a few radio shows that he was in a Rosicrucian museum in California when he all of a sudden had an almost out of body experience. He saw everything that happened during Akhunaton's reign in Egypt. He published as fiction because he didn't want to have to prove what happened to him. His book tells the whole story of how Akhunaton came to be Pharaoh and why the people of Egypt tried to destroy his memory. This book is interesting from beginning to end.

Peace. This books was very enlightening and did what any good work is supposed to do. Spark your imagination and make you think. This is not meant to be an historical work as many have purpoted. There are many historically accurate facts though. There is very little written about the Pharoah that is 'historical'. He did not leave us much to go on. Everything that history has left us has been included in this book. I find the author without fault. As with any book there are high points and low points. The highs more than make up for the lows. It is a good introduction for those unfamiliar with Kemet (Ancient Egypt) and a solid support for those who are already learned. I enjoyed the book thoroughly. The antagonist is beleivable for anyone familiar with Illumianti. For anyone who wants to build on it, hit me on my email. Peace.

Let us dispense with all of the discussion of the Illuminati, real Pharonic history or any serious sense of spirituality and enlightenment. This was a book of Science Fiction that used one of the most tumultuous periods in Egyptian history as its back drop. Part Stargate, part Star Trek, part Joseph Campbell, Blair may or may not have taken the view point that Egypt was the birthplace of all cultures and sciences on the globe. Akunaton does not deserve any criticism a historical piece or anthropological discussion as it is just a piece of fairly decent science fiction. However, while the author was taking poetic license with history and Egyptian spiritual concepts, it would have been nice if there had been development along those lines in order to round out and add richness to the scope of his vision. This book needed more character development, more interpersonal interaction between the characters, more description about the interior of the space ship Aton, more description about the every day life and description of the temples and the activities there in. The reader feels like a distant observer of a not too clear photograph, with glimpses of color here and there, with an occasional flash of brilliance. This book gives one the strange feeling that it suffered from an overzealous editor out of touch with the material and subject of the book. You can't help but wonder what was cut. Still, all in all, not a bad light read.

I and 5 of my close friends have read and deeply enjoyed Akhunaton, The Terrestial King. The reviewer's comments about the material being shallow and romantic is entirely misleading. The material spans thousands of years and in the telling held our attention throughout. For anyone wishing a fascinating read of mythical proportion I heartily encourage them to read this masterpiece by a brilliant new author. In closing I must suggest that the reviewer did not even read the material or he would not have referred to it as a romance.

i can see that people either love this book or hate it. i personally loved it! i just got so sucked into the story that i couldn't help but to read on. i also believe that the story has some truth in it. it ties in with the illuminati and how the aliens have integrated in human history. of course, if you believe history that is told at school, this is gibberish. highly recommended for open-minded spiritual beings. love and light

This book was very descriptive and informative. I have to say that I saw nothing wrong in their labeling of the "people of color" as the person stated below. IT IS A WELL KNOWN FACT...that Egypt was not completely black because of the Near Eastern influnces and migrations of such people. Not to mention those times when Egypt was invaded and controlled by the Assyrians, Persians, and the Hykos. Yes the black people were influential in Egypt,some were pharoahs, great leaders and an important part of the Egyptian population. But not everyone in Egypt was black. There were many dynasties led by those that were not black which can be seen in various paintings and sculptures where there is definately NOT negroid features. Obviously, it is not only the Caucasian race that is excluding well known facts about Egypt. Egypt was a place of mixture.

Like James Michener, Daniel Blair Stewart brings history to life by masterfully weaving together the combined knowledge of classical and esoteric/mystical egyptology into a rich, riveting, massively enlightening, and profoundly prophetic "fictional" novel. More real than any other account of this actual Pharaoh, fictional or non-fictional, I'm convinced it was channeled from a highly spiritual place.

stop getting so caught up on the differences of race people. the book is about seedling planets, stairstep evolution and elevation of mental/spiritual levels. it is fiction. if you want to diliberate racism read roots. if your mind is on the return of life to the proper course after our fall from heaven, take a copy and break its back. drum and bass on the rise.

The author has skillfully blended information from MANY sources into a mystical, mythical novel which very much reflects the subject he seeks to demonstrate. It is not always easy for the spirit world to reflect perfectly into the physical. Akhunaton and Daniel Stewart are stepping out there and doing what they know to do.

Yet another book filled with an inaccurate rose-tinted view of Akhenaten and his rule. Akhenaten was very much a human, not an alien. Akhenaten was a political manipulator, ambitious and wanted to defy his father on every front. Hence the Amarna Heresy that was definitely NOT a breakthrough in religion for the people. Akhenaten appointed himself as the sole intermediary between the Divine and those whom he ruled - more akin to the absolutism of a Pope during the Inquisition, rather than an Extraterrestrial Messiah. Perhaps someday, Mr. Stewart will actually read history and not the newagy gobbeldy gook that is remincient of a very bad plot of a Scooby Doo mystery.
