Brief :

Akhenaten, or Amenhotep the fourth, is the son of Amenhotep the Third. In the fourth year of his rule, he chose a site for his new capital, and he began building it the following year, and it was called the sister of Aton, the Aton horizon, the Amarna hill now.

Then he changed his name, from Amenhotep, who meant to please Amun, to Akhenaten, who was in favor of Athen. This means that he rebelled against the worship of Amun, for the sake of the Lord of the sun as well. No statues were made of this idol, which was filmed in the form of the sun disk, spreading its rays that end with human hands, giving life to the royal family.

The king and his beautiful wife Nefertiti, played the role of mediator, between Lord Aton and the people. On the other hand.

The art of Amarna was a unique art, with a tendency to realism, with some exaggeration, and succeeded in portraying the intimacy of the royal family.

God (Aton):
Aton was like the head of Heliopolis in the sun. Since the beginning of the modern state, the influence of the religion of Heliopolis has been increasing.
And it reached the highest Mratbha in the reign of King Akhenaten, who neglected all the traditional religions in Egypt, to revere one Lord only, a furnace, which is represented in the form of the sun disk, rays that end with human hands, to give life and prosperity of the royal family. The Aton temple in Amarna, the capital of Akhenaten, or Karnak, had no roof to allow the sun to penetrate into it. After the death of Akhenaten, Aton returned, for his first place, as one of the Egyptian gods.

The new city of Akhenaten:
Tel Amarna is the new capital established by King Akhnaton, located forty-five kilometers south of Bani Hassan. Her name was Aton's sister or Aton's horizon. Remains of the old capital still exist.

Some destroyed Safwa houses are also present at the northern end of the site, facing the outer wall of the Royal Palace. The Egyptian Museum houses beautiful models of plaster floor coverings, which were the source of these dwellings.

A number of tombs have also been discovered at Tell el-Amarna, the most important of which are to the north, such as the tombs of Mari Ra, Ahmus, Bento and the royal family cemetery, which are believed to have been excavated for the king and his family.

Good:
We have historical facts what makes us believe that the religious coup d'etat caused Akhenaten not suddenly, and that premise has emerged since the fourth Thutmose grandfather Akhenaten, was found on the plate next to the Temple of the Sphinx appeared where Thutmose IV worshiped the sun disk "Aten" has droop from this disk A ray emitted from the sun carrying good things, and this picture is largely applicable to the iconic image of the religion of Akhenaten.
In addition, Thutmose IV was the first pharaoh to rebel against the authority of the priests of Amon and to remove from their hands the post of chief priest of the two countries, and was imitated by one of his commanders who trusted them.
When Akhenaten took over the throne of the country, he found things somewhat ready to worship the sun god alone, symbolizing him with the disk he called "Aton". He said of his idol: "He is the power behind this disc, and he is one of his partners."
Amon Ra's priests were furious at Akhenaten's insistence on worshiping his god alone and forbidding the worship of Amun and other gods.
Akhenaten was on the mind of Rajih, the same net, and deep thought, and it is strange that the owner of these ideals of reform was anomaly in his creation.
As for Hdhuzh physical not entered him in it, and the mental to Hdhuzh Vlmkhafatth to the people of his time in the lack of spreads to the gods of good and strong abhorrence of the god Amun, and either Hdhuzh moral, this subject of bizarre, Akhenaten was a suspicious relationship between him and his brother Smancara as was his love and his attachment to him out of the scope of the mind and Malouf and likely he was on an abnormal sexual relationship with his brother Smancara, so he launched the ills of his brother title feminist from the titles of his wife, Queen Nefertiti, a "beauty superior to Aten" (Navarre Nfro Aten), and there is a keyboard reserved now in the "Berlin" Museum show It is extremely insulting to morality and ethics, as Akhenaten appears to be adhering to Khah Smancara Msouka his waist with one hand, and petting the interrelated chin in love and pampering, but no doubt that sends the same to see many meanings for abnormal sexual relationship between the two brothers this image, and re-boiled mind that sexual relationship anomalies that were between the Emperor Hadrian Bghulamh Anthony.
Akhenaten's decline also appears in his marriage to his third daughter, Ankhas Aten, who later became the wife of King Tutankhamun.
Nefertiti, the wife of Akhenaten, did not abandon her husband's behavior. Her palace was moved to another neighborhood in the city called "Shadow of Ra" with her son Tutankhamun.
He built his new city Akhenaten "Akhtaton" or "horizon of Aten" knowledge now in Tel el-Amarna in the speed and emigrated Alahaho and myriads of nobles and senior statesmen of the new religion Convinced, or in keeping behind waiting for the spoils.
After a long period of strikes, Akhenaten died after 18 years of rule, and did he die if his enemy died or was assassinated.
Akhenaten died after setting up a strong religious policy, and having followed the doctrine of successful steps toward his goal.

A Nashidah, which was worshiped by Anton:
This solar song contains lines of serious meaning, namely:

You are a photographer for your own members,
And a photographer without conceiving.
He is cut off from the Quran in his qualities, which is pierced by eternity.
Guide (millions) to ways.
When you take off in the sky, all humans see you.
Although the circus is hidden from their eyes.
You are going through the tourism of the past.
But hundreds of thousands and millions of times.
And every day under (Sultan).
And when the time of sunset comes.
He also listens to you at night.
And it is not going to pass the end of your religion.
All people look through you.
You are the Creator of all and of them and above them.
You are useful to the gods and the human beings.


We have not received a document that contains explicit expressions of Egyptian thinking that are older than these.
The Akhenaten incident and its new religion were the most famous thing in the family.
