King Akhenaton Standing with Crook and Flail Statue | |

Egyptian Museum,
Cairo. Dynasty 18th
1365 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 Pharoahs 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. He also assumed
the name Akhenaton
("The Glory of the
Aten"). This began
two decades of
religious reforms
overthrowing
millentia of
traditional religious
and civil life.
Akhenaton erected a
temple to the Sun God
at Karnak. The Aten
temple contained a
peristyle court whose
28 pillars supported
colossal statues of
the King. This bust
is what remains of
one of them.
