•Akhenaten - Amarna •Brief information available in description

Описание: Akhenaten, the revolutionary pharaoh of Egypt’s 18th Dynasty, founded a completely new city called Akhetaten (modern-day Amarna) around 1346 BCE. This city was dedicated solely to the worship of Aten, the sun disk, breaking away from the traditional polytheistic beliefs centered around Amun and other deities. Amarna was built swiftly and uniquely—without the influence of Egypt’s powerful priesthoods—symbolizing Akhenaten’s dramatic religious reform. The city featured temples open to sunlight, royal palaces, and homes built in a distinct architectural style. Though Amarna flourished briefly, it was abandoned soon after Akhenaten’s death, and Egypt returned to its old gods.
