King Akhenaton Offering to Aton Wall Plaque | |
|
Egyptian Museum,
Cairo. Dynasty XVIII
1370 B.C.
Akhenaton, originally
named Amenhotep IV,
ruled Egypt for 17
years (1367-1350
b.c.) together with
his beautiful Queen
Nefertiti, he was Son
of Amenhotep III. The
priesthood of Amun at
Thebes, enormously
enriched by the
tribute donated by
the Pharaohs to the
God, became the real
power. Like his
father before him,
Akhenaton initially
recognized the power
of the priests of
Amun at Thebes but
after the fifth year
of his reign, he
changed the state
cult of Amun to that
of Aten, the unique
God represented as
the sun-disk with its
rays ending in small
hands. He also
assumed the name
Akhenaton (“the glory
of the Aten”). This
began two decades of
religious reforms
overthrowing millenia
of traditional
religious and civil
life. Here, Akhenaton
together with his
wife Nefertiti and
one of their
daughters are seen
worshipping the Aten.
