Akhenaten: The Pharaoh Who Erased Egypt's Gods (And Was Erased Himself)
He closed every temple. Erased the name of Egypt's chief god from every monument. Moved the capital to virgin desert. Declared himself the prophet of the only god. Then history erased him.
This is Akhenaten—the Heretic Pharaoh who waged war on 3,000 years of Egyptian religion. The husband of Nefertiti. The father of Tutankhamun. The man who tried to force monotheism on polytheistic Egypt and paid for it with his bloodline.
Discover the dark truth behind Egypt's most controversial pharaoh: Was he history's first monotheist, inspiring Moses and later religions? Or an egomaniac who destabilized Egypt and weakened its empire? Why did he portray himself with an elongated skull and feminine features? What happened to Queen Nefertiti? And why did Egypt systematically erase him from history after his death?
