I feel I must point out a few things which I think are erroneous. Akhenaton was not a boy king, that was Tutankhamen. His father, Amenhotep III , made Akhenaten his co regent for a number of years before he died. There is evidence that the old pharaoh and his wife, Queen Tiye, embraced the faith of their son and lived in Akhetaten for a period of time. Nefertiti was a very important dignitary in the religion of Aten worship. She is depicted many times beside her husband performing rituals. The worship of the Aten was not a new religion. Aten or Atum was in the pantheon of Egypt’s gods with the centre for worship in earlier times being in Heliopolis (for obvious reasons). What was revolutionary was that it was a monotheistic tradition in that Ahhenaten wanted his followers to put aside evidence of other deities. Evidence has been found that the ordinary people in Akhetaten did not exactly follow this rule as statuettes of other deities have been found buried in some of the dwellings. Although recent Egyptologists have given their imprimatur that Tutankhamen was Ahenaten’s offspring, I’m not sure that I am convinced that recent DNA evidence proves his paternity. Before he died(?) he had a co-regent for a short period, this was Smenkhare but he appears to have died about the same time as Akhenaten. It is not known his paternity, but he could have been a younger brother. In all, it is believed Akhenaten was Pharaoh for about 17 years. Just wanted to correct a few points that might have given the wrong impression.
Nice. Thanks for sharing.
Gabnebius: You are right. The video shows ignorance of several facts. The one glaring error in my estimation is calling the Aten the sun, whereas Akhnaton wan REVIVING more ancient Egyptian religious traditions which worshipped the "spirit" or "energy" of the sun, not simply the sun disk.
He lost me as soon as a young White boy was shown to represent Akhenahten!!
I recently heard another perspective on what Akhenaten was trying to do by ushering in monotheism. He wanted the people to show appreciation for the God above the deities they were worshipping. Kind of like bringing back to the source. Thoughts?
Ok...read between the lines...we all know the other stories but this man did alot of work ...😠
There’s something so odd and enigmatic about Akhenaten. I feel there’s a lot more to the story, that hasn’t been discovered yet. He was a really unusual pharaoh.
Go find it and change history bro
Akhenaten's Aten based religion was the culmination of events that started during the early New Kingdom period when his greater family unit, a family from Thebes (modern day Luxor), started ruling Egypt starting around 1550, about two hundred years before Akhenaten took power.
During the New Kingdom, a large number of solar hymns, (songs and poems to the sun god Ra) start appearing in people's tombs around Thebes. In the various New Kingdom pharaoh's own tombs, such as Thutmose III, secret solar based afterlife texts known as the Amduat and others start appearing in the Valley of the King's tombs. Akhenaten's grandfather Thutmose II gave credit to the Aten for a military victory he had up in the levant, and the Aten was already a personal deity of Akhenaten's father, Amenhotep III, in fact Akhenaten's father named his personal royal barge, the "Spirit of the Aten."
When Amenhotep IV took over, he kept his name intact for the first year or two before changing it to Akhenaten, and Egyptologists are still debating how much of his religion was based on a true belief he had, and how much of it was a cult/political tool he used to attack the Amun temple priesthood and strip them of their increasing power, due to things such as the "professionalization of the priesthood," a phenomena that also developed during the New Kingdom and was competed with the pharaoh for influence and Egyptian state power dynamics.
@@judeboss14 I love this comment. So much support and encouragement in just a few words.
Akhenaten is Moses
@@brandonleesanders Nope.
I’ve loved ancient Egyptian history since fourth grade when my teacher made it come alive for my class. However, it wasn’t until I saw the Metropolitan Opera’s premier of Philip Glass’s opera “Ahknaten” two years ago that I first heard of Ahknaten. After seeing that fantastic opera I tried to find out everything that I could about him. From what I have learned about him, his father Amunhotep III and his son Tutankhamen these three pharaohs had reigns that were so completely different from each other’s in spite of them being three generations of the same family. How a pharaoh who so completely changed the religion and culture of Egypt during his reign could then be lost to history for millennia fascinates me. BTW the opera “Ahknaten” is returning to the Metropolitan Opera in May and June of next year (2022). It’s the musical equivalent of this video and is an incredible telling of Ahknaten’s life story. I can’t recommend it highly enough. Thanks for a fascinating video. I learned some new facts about this enigmatic pharaoh and his reign.
Furthermore, Amenhotep III was not a great conqueror. Rather, Thutmose III and Amenhotep II were.
Tut was his nephew. Unless, I’m reading your wording erroneously, I suppose.
Aten represented the light from the Sun, not the physical Sun.
Strangely, Akenaton was correct in his assertion that the sun's rays gave life to all living on the Earth. How very strange that few believed him. I admire Akenaton.
Thanks for clarifying that, makes sense since Ra represents the sun.
@@summerbrooks9922 It appears that Akhen-Aten was ahead of time. Such a shame to be persecuted for the truth or unfamiliar knowledge.
@@queenajustice542
Isn’t that the way it’s always been?
Yes, the power behind the Sun. AKhenaten's spiritual philosophy is quite profound for its time, like the Transcendentalism of Ralph Waldo Emerson, or the writings of Spinoza, and the musings of Marcus Aurelius' Meditations, beyond the many comparisons made with the Hebrew Scriptures and the Christian Bible.
The power of the pharaohs was being over-taken by the power and wealth of the priests. Making one overarching sun god, firmly represented by the pharaoh, was designed to reduce the power and wealth of the priests of the differing cults.
I picture it being similar to to power struggles between European Kings, and Popes. Like when Henry VIII gave the royal finger to Rome, they were like HELLZ NO!!😆
That was probably unpopular with the priests
Makes me think of the contemporary problem of corporations monopolizing the platforms of power
Oh like oligarchs, or Christian nationalists…funny how power wealth and religion always appear together

@@ELGABACHOLOCO Yep. The work was done in the lab in Wuhan and paid for by folks associated with Fox News. Their first effort (someone called Biden) turned out to be too 'Alternative" for the financiers but their next try (though at first seeming to be a right thinking member of their exclusive wealthy Monotheistic Club) turned out to be an uncontrollable nut case who believed he was God himself! After that they split up the crew (as the ancient Egyptians did) into a couple of competing gangs. The Left Wall gang then made the mistake of taking their DNA sample from too near the royal family jewels and produced a sex maniac who had to be shipped off to New York! They then took the next DNA sample from the outer skin (to get away from any deep-seated problems) and got a result with a bit too much melanin for Southern members of the clan. The Right Wall gang also seem to have been too keen to dodge the "Surface" issue and have dug too deep thus producing a couple of sex maniacs who have had to be dumped in the Florida swamps. But, Nil Desperandum Auspice Deo, with a top up of research funds from that "Interested Party" and great friend of the US elite who has had a bit of a windfall due to a shortage of energy supplies in Europe I'm sure that the Wuhan Coolies will eventually turn out a Frank'n'furter product to delight the Yank High Priests. 🤣🤣🤣

I'm 18 and I just can't picture myself ruling an entire Kingdom😭 I'm so young and I'm still literally a child. That's so insane to me. Me being 18 ruling over people from the ages of 1 to 90 and cra
well, back then they were trained from an early age every aspect of ruling a nation so they could handle taking over the kingdom since ancient Egyptians died young.
@@DragonSlayerCommentariesHQ yes... I know. That doesn't really have anything to do with what I said though honestly.
They were trained from very young ages from their Pharoh parents, a lot more focused of responsibilities they grew up knowing they would hv to be1 day. w/ responsibilities that children of today wouldn’t even know about. King Tut was 9 years old when he became Pharoh , yet royals & advisors were really the ones ruling bc he was so young. Cleopatra became Pharoh at 18 with her younger brothers at the age’s of 9 and 13. Yet again, they also had advisers so it wasn’t just them ruling by themselves.
People then didn’t have the extended childhoods of today

12:32 that's an understatement. He stood out definitely and no other Pharaoh came close.
The open top temples were a nightmare for the people that worked in them and the dignitaries that came to visit. They baked in the sun lol
Keep in mind that Egyptian priest had enormous wealth and sold relics and potions for everyone to have altars in their homes along with all the temples for individual god's.. The priest where abusing the faith of the people and they where kinda untouchable much like the Pope and the Vatican..
I'm pretty sure he built his own city that looks like a little Vatican with a balcony and goofy hats and everything
🔘CHAPTER 26a
• Moroni recounts the history of Egypt, the first great empire. He explains why the histories of the human race are one-sided and seldom tell the whole truth.
• The pharaoh Akhenaton is introduced, and is befriended by the prophet Ubaid.
• The Egyptian nation is a great nation, which is later destroyed because of wickedness.
66 And it came to pass that the nation of Egypt became exceedingly great among all the nations of the earth. And they trained armies to protect them, and they caused that great cities were built up according to their traditions and the worship of their gods.
67 And it came to pass that there was a son of a pharaoh, whose name was Akhenaton. And during the days of his youth, Akhenaton played among the slaves, which were in the service of his father.
68 And among those with whom he played, was a boy whose name was Ubaid. And Ubaid had been foreordained by the Lord to become a great prophet to the Egyptian people. For the parents of Ubaid were a humble people who did not accept the many gods that were worshipped in Egypt.
69 Nevertheless, they were forbidden by law to speak their minds concerning theses things. And they were mindful of the plight in which the poor class of the people found themselves under the reign of the pharaohs.
70 And they began to teach their son that there was but one God, and that God would not want that any of His children suffer as the poor were being forced to suffer because of the wickedness of the rich. And they were gentle people who gave what they could to relieve the suffering of those who suffered.
71 And the father of Ubaid was one of the chief laborers who was assigned to the upkeep and maintenance of the statues of the gods that adorned the great houses in which the Pharaoh and his wives dwelt. For the Pharaoh had many wives, he being considered a god who had this right.
72 And the Pharaoh trusted the father of Ubaid and gave unto him great authority over all those who were his servants in his own household. And the father of Ubaid was a just man who dealt justly with all the servants of the Pharaoh, and therefore, was highly esteemed among them for the way that he exercised the authority that he had been given over them by the Pharaoh.
73 And for this reason, Akhenaton was allowed to play with Ubaid all the days of their youth. For it was not permitted by their laws, that the upper class had established for them, that their children, who were esteemed above the children of the lower class, should play with or associate with other children who were not of their own class.
74 But it came to pass that Akhenaton became like a brother unto Ubaid. And while in the house of Ubaid, he would listen to the words of the father of Ubaid and ponder upon them in his heart.
75 And it came to pass, that at a certain time, it was required of Ubaid that he pass through the circumcisions that were customary among the people of Egypt in introducing their young males into adulthood. But among the upper class, it was not a requirement for them. For they had more sanitary environments in which they lived. But of the lower classes, it was a law that all males receive this circumcision.
76 And Akhenaton was forbidden from that time forward to associate with the children of the servants of his father, the Pharaoh. And Akhenaton was exceedingly sorrowful because of the loss of his friend. And he kept this sorrow in his heart because of the power of his father; and also his fear of the judgment of his father, the Pharaoh.
77 But Akhenaton wanted to be circumcised like unto his friend Ubaid so that he could always remember the friendship that they enjoyed as children.
78 And it came to pass that Ubaid grew and was wrought upon by the Holy Ghost. And he was taught the commandments and laws of God, and also the truth pertaining unto God. And he was called to preach repentance to the Egyptian people and show unto them the things wherein they had corrupted the truth concerning the commandments of the Father.
79 And it came to pass that as Ubaid taught the people these things, he was bound and imprisoned by those priests who were threatened by what he preached. And these priests, who were the holy priests of the gods in which the people had been taught to believe, had him bound according to the laws of the land, which did not permit anyone to speak contrary to the teachings of the priests of Pharaoh.
80 And Ubaid was held in captivity for many days and was given little to eat and drink. And his father went unto the Pharaoh and threw himself at the feet of his master and begged for mercy for his son.
81 And the Pharaoh knew not that which had been done by his priests, for they had hidden this thing from him. And the Pharaoh commanded that his priests give unto him an account of all that they had done unto Ubaid, and also an account of why they had done these things.
82 And the priests came before the Pharaoh and told unto him all manner of lies concerning the effect that the preaching of Ubaid was having on the people of Egypt.
83 And now, it would have been no great thing, if Ubaid had spoken of his beliefs and kept them to himself. But when his beliefs began to cause contentions and disputations among the people of Egypt, as the wicked priests reported to the Pharaoh, the Pharaoh was obligated by the laws of their nation to take the life of him who causeth contention, so that the peace of the kingdom would not be affected.
🔘CHAPTER 26b
84 But in this thing, his priests had lied unto him. For the words of Ubaid were not contentious, but were the simple words of love that the Spirit had taught unto him. Yea, they were the words of Christ, and the law of the gospel as it hath been presented in this record. And because of the teachings of Ubaid, many of the people began to question the priests in whom they believed, but there was no contention among them.
85 But the priests knew that they could not reveal the true nature of the teachings of Ubaid unto the Pharaoh, for it would usurp the authority that they had received by the office of their calling, which was given unto them by the Pharaoh. For the Pharaoh depended on his priests for advice and counsel in the ways that he should govern the people of his kingdom.
86 And if their advice caused contention and disputations among the people of Egypt, then the Pharaoh would require this at the hands of those to whom he had given the commission to watch over the people. For this reason, the priests of the Pharaoh lied to him about the effect of the words of Ubaid.
87 And the Pharaoh was bound by his word, and also by the traditions of his forefathers, to take the life of whomever disrupted the peace of the kingdom, which peace was only experienced among the upper class as it hath been explained unto you.
88 And it came to pass that the father of Ubaid pled even more exceedingly for the life of his son. But the Pharaoh had spoken; and nothing the father of Ubaid could say would save the life of his son.
89 And Akhenaton did not know concerning these things at the time that they occurred. And the father of Ubaid went unto the house of Akhenaton. And because he was not a servant of that house, and was not assigned by law to the house of Akhenaton, he was not permitted to enter therein.
89 And Akhenaton did not know concerning these things at the time that they occurred. And the father of Ubaid went unto the house of Akhenaton. And because he was not a servant of that house, and was not assigned by law to the house of Akhenaton, he was not permitted to enter therein.
90 But the father of Ubaid tore at his clothes and wept exceedingly and made his voice loud so that all could hear his pleas.
91 And it came to pass that Akhenaton heard the commotion that was being made in front of his house, and went for himself to see that which was occurring. And when he recognized the father of Ubaid, he immediately commanded his guards to release him and allow him to come into his house.
92 And the father of Ubaid recounted all the things that the priests of his father had done unto Ubaid. And Akhenaton wept also for Ubaid, for he knew that there was nothing he could do to save his friend because of the word that had been spoken by his father.
93 Nevertheless, Akhenaton went unto his father and pled for the life of his friend. And the Pharaoh did not have compassion on the words of his son, and forbade him from ever speaking of the matter before him again. But in one final effort to do what he could for Ubaid, Akhenaton pleaded with his father that he, who was one of the royal sons, could administer this sentence of death unto Ubaid.
94 And because of the laws that were among them, the Pharaoh could not forbid his son from doing that which he desired. For it was a long standing tradition among them that the sons of the pharaohs be given the opportunity to carry out the commands of their fathers, and in this way, show their loyalty and integrity to the throne, which one of them would receive upon the death of the reigning pharaoh. And because of this thing that Akhenaton desired of his father, the Pharaoh; even that he would take the life of his beloved friend for the sake of the law and order that had been established among them; Akhenaton showed his loyalty to his father and to all of Egypt.
95 And because of this thing, the Pharaoh pronounced upon him that he would inherit the throne upon his death. And when the Pharaoh had announced this, it became law.
96 And this was not the desire of the priests, for they were enjoined in their desire to have another of the sons of the Pharaoh inherit the throne, even one that they had taught themselves, since the day of his birth.
97 But in this, their plan was spoiled, for the word of the Pharaoh when spoken, was like unto the word of God to the people. And Akhenaton was anointed to be their Pharaoh and their God, and in this, the wicked priests were uneasy, but they had no choice but to submit themselves to the word of the Pharaoh.
98 And it came to pass that there was not a set time that the sentence of death had to be administered unto Ubaid. And Akhenaton went into Ubaid in captivity, and wept upon him, and told his friend that which he had to do.
99 And Ubaid smiled upon his beloved friend, and held him close to his bosom and said unto him: Oh, my beloved Akhenaton, cry not for me, for to this end was I called before this world was. Behold, dost thou not realize, that because of this thing, thou shall sit upon the throne of thy father and rule and reign over this people? And dost thou not realize that we have been forbidden to see each other for these many years, even since the days of our youth? And if this thing had not come to pass, then we might not have ever seen each other again.
100 And it came to pass that Ubaid spent many hours reminiscing with Akhenaton about the happy times of their youth. And Akhenaton was comforted by these things, and stopped his weeping for a time.
101 And Ubaid continued, saying: Behold, I have been called by God to preach repentance unto this people, and to teach them the truth regarding those things that they have been taught by the traditions of their fathers, which are the precepts of men. For the things that they have been taught are contrary to the laws of happiness by which God would have us live, so that we might be happy upon this earth, and also, that we might be happy when we return once again to live with Him in His kingdoms.
102 And Akhenaton was confused, and said unto him: Of which of our gods dost thou speak? And what is it that thou hast said concerning this happiness in the kingdoms of this God? And I know that when we die, we go unto the land of Osiris, and there we will be placed according to our status here upon this earth. And for this reason we have the priests of Osiris to teach us the things that we must do to prepare ourselves for this afterlife.
🔘CHAPTER 26c
103 But I do not know of what happiness to which thou referest thyself, when thou sayest that we shall be happy when we live with Him in His kingdoms. For it hath been taught unto us that there is only one kingdom after this life, and that it is the kingdom of Osiris.
104 And when I die, it hath been taught unto me by the priests of Osiris, and also the priests of our other gods, that I shall rule and reign in the afterlife, as I shall rule and reign here. And that all men shall fulfill the destiny that the gods have given unto them, both here upon this earth, and in the afterlife.
105 And Ubaid answered him, saying: What thinkest thou, my friend, of my life and the position in this life that I hold? Dost thou not know the suffering of those that are not of thy class? Is it so, that we must suffer in the afterlife, because we are not of the class to which thou belongest?
106 And would thou wantest that I suffer in the afterlife as I have suffered here, as a servant to thy father and to his priests? Remember when we played together in our youth, and I was elected pharaoh over us, and you subjected yourself unto me, that we might play out the desires of our hearts as children?
107 Were we not happy believing that we were equal, and that we were brothers? And did thou not findest joy and acceptance and love in my house with my parents and with my brothers and my sisters? Rememberest thou the time, when thou wanted to change places with me, and have me dress in thy royal garments, and have my garments, even the vestment of a slave, put upon thee? And we exchanged our clothes, and laughed and played in them.
108 And thou would bow down before me and do what I commanded of thee. Rememberst thou, what it was that I commanded thee to do at that time? Behold, I commanded thee to always be my best friend and my brother, and always remember me when thou sittest upon the throne of thy father? And thou promised me that I would always be thy friend, and that thou wouldst never have a cause to forget me. And in this promise, thou hast been faithful.
109 And because of the promise of thy love for me, thou hast taken it upon thyself to administer the sentence that thy father hath pronounced upon my head. And with this pronouncement, thou shalt be able to keep the rest of the promise that thou madest unto me in our youth, even that thou wouldst always remember me.
110 And after hearing these words from Ubaid, Akhenaton fell again upon his friend and wept, saying: Oh, my beloved Ubaid, I shall never forget thee. I beg of thee, tell me that which thou wouldst have me do in honor of thy memory, that thou mightest know that I shall keep the promise I have made unto thee all the days of my life.
111 Now, this was the thing that Ubaid had hoped his friend would say. For he knew that the word of the son of a pharaoh was just as binding as the word of the Pharaoh himself. And Ubaid spoke again, saying: I would that thou spendest the last few days of my life with me, that I might teach unto thee all the things which I have learned from the God of which I have spoken.
112 And after thou hast listened to my words, I would that thou shouldst remember these words, even as thou sittest upon the throne of thy father. And even if thou should only remember my words, then that would be the greatest honor that I could receive from thee as my friend.
113 And it came to pass that Akhenaton did that which Ubaid had requested of him. And for many days he would go into the prison where Ubaid was being held captive and listen to the words of this prophet of God.
114 And the Holy Ghost came upon Akhenaton, and he believed the things which he had been taught by Ubaid. And in this manner, the Lord prepared a way whereby the Egyptian nation could receive his words, even by way of one of their kings.
115 And it came to pass that the day arrived in which Akhenaton was forced to administer the sentence of death unto Ubaid. And this administration of death was done according to the desire of he who was administering it.
116 And Akhenaton had searched among all the land for that which would administer death in such a way that Ubaid would not feel any pain. And he found a poison that would do this thing. And this poison would cause Ubaid to fall asleep before taking his life.
117 And with great anxiety and heaviness of heart Akhenaton went in unto his friend for the last time. And he wept exceedingly upon the breast of Ubaid. And Ubaid did also weep with him.
118 And when the time came for the administration of the poison, Akhenaton could not administer it unto Ubaid. And Akhenaton took the poison in his hand and was desirous to take it himself, not wanting to see his beloved friend die before his eyes.
119 But Ubaid reached forth his hand and stopped his friend from administering the poison unto himself. And Ubaid could not take the poison himself, for it was required by the law that it be administered unto him by the hand of Akhenaton. For if he would have taken the poison himself, Akhenaton would not have kept the oath that he had made to his father and to the people of Egypt, and then would the death of Ubaid be for nothing, and Akhenaton would lose the throne of his father.
120 And it came to pass that with the last strength that he had in him, Ubaid took hold of the wrists of Akhenaton, and he folded his hands around the trembling hands of his friend. And with much struggle at first, Ubaid forced the hand of Akhenaton to administer the poison unto him.
121 And upon eating the poison from the hand of Akhenaton, Ubaid looked at his friend for the last time, and smiled upon him, and said unto him: Remember the thing that thou hast promised me. I am your friend and your brother forever. It is done. And with these words, Ubaid gave up the ghost. And Akhenaton held the body of Ubaid for many hours thereafter. And as a spirit, Ubaid was then able to speak the consoling words of comfort to his friend, Akhenaton. And through the ministrations of the spirit world, Akhenaton was comforted.
122 And it came to pass that Akhenaton sat upon the throne of Egypt after his father died. And he caused the things that he had learned from Ubaid to be taught to the people. And he also withdrew the government support previously given to the priests of the other gods, and caused all to worship one god, even the God that he had been taught to worship by Ubaid.
123 And it came to pass that while Akhenaton lived and sat upon the throne of his fathers, many of the people began to turn from the traditions of their fathers and worship God. But the priests were numerous and influential among the people, evensomuch that they succeeded in terrifying the fearful people into believing that if they obeyed Akhenaton, they would suffer the wrath of the other gods that they had been taught to believe in by their ancestors.
124 And it came to pass that after the death of Akhenaton, the priests of Egypt once again turned the people to all manner of wickedness and idolatry.🌿🌿🌿

Great video!!! Enjoyed, thank you🏺💀
Glad you enjoyed!
Hey me too
From what we've recently learned from the stellos of Ahmose, belief in one God began before Akenaten! This thought did not just spring out of his head. Monotheism began during the time of Joseph or as far back as Joseph!
Fuck monotheism though
Please, don't mix myth with history. Belief in the Aten is the most ancient of Egyptian religious traditions and Akhnaton revived it.
@@MyMacsam But….. isn’t a sun god mythological?
@@yahadyashabbat9364 I was referring to "time of joseph." It is historical that Akhnaton revived Egypt's ancient monotheism but there is no historical evidence of "joseph."
@@MyMacsam Imhotep (2650 bc) was the great architect to the first pharaoh, Djoser, who solved the 7 year drought and famine in the Nile region after he had a dream, became the chief vizier to pharaoh and designed the first pyramid. He also wrote medical instructions and created a calendar with 12 months each with 30 days. Was given the title ‘star gazer’. He is also credited with starting the secret sect of the stonemasons (to promote children of Israel within his admi?) and was deified after his death.. his tomb has never been found…almost parallel story to that of Joseph who’s bones were taken by Moses and reburied with Jacob, his father… the time line of the exodus needs to be re-evaluated
Thanks for telling us half the story may you always have half the things you need
Lol legit
I think he (Ahkenaten) might've been onto something.
Tutankhamen was probably controlled to bring back the old religion and erase as much of his dad's legacy and once he served his purpose he was killed too.
Think about it. The old pantheon meant priests representing the multitudes of gods would have had no job or purpose.
First there was Amun ("the Hidden One").
The Aten arose (represented as a living manifestation by Akhenaten).
Amun was obscured by the Aten (similarly as people who look at the sun can see nothing else).
Amun conceptually was still there as it had been before the brightness of the Aten came forward.
Then, the Aten set as symbolized by the deathof Akhenaten.
Since the Aten has passed on, Amun was again more prominent because the conceptual blinding brightness of the Aten was gone.
Tut-Ankh-Aten changed his name after the death of Akhenaten in part to conceptually represent that the Aten was gone and Amun was again as prominent to be (seen?) as it had been before the Aten.
There are so many theories that there is no way we’ll ever know the truth. It’s interesting to hear all the different versions of his life people come up with.
Correction - the first 8 years of his reign were in a co-regency with his father.
So the first years were actually spent as a cult leader, with a cult center in the center if Egypt - playing at god. It was only later when his father died, that he could use the army to close down all the old temples, and make the Aton the supreme god.
As an aside, the Israelite god was also called Adon.
R
Some people believe he had a co regency with his father and some don't. Most don't.
That is not what happened.
The Restoration Stele of Tutankhamun is misunderstood as an account of what Akhenaten supposedly had done.
It is a complex reference that can't be reduced into a simple post but Akhenaten didn't attack, neglect or close the existing temples.
the modern pictures in between makes the whole thing pretty weird. The documentary is good otherwise.
I find it interesting that even though all the ancient depictions of these people are brown, very very dark brown/copper, there's a picture of white kid in the first 10 seconds when referring to the 17 yr old Pharoah....
Interesting indeed but understand that "RACE" did not exist as a paradigm back then. Many "scholars" can't seem to understand this and often time apply the "Race" paradigm (whether directly or indirectly) in their work not realizing the damage it causes to the legitimacy of their work. Try not to let it distort yours. Be well.
The red coloring is an art paradigm throughout the ancient near East. Males are painted red and females are often white.
Also, Egyptians were most likely very early immigrants from Greece. They where not native to africa, nor were they Arab

Look at the relative size difference between him and Nefertiti and others. It's likely that the 10ft tall statue of him was life size. The Egyptian museum has a number of sarcophagi that would suit regular size people and a smaller number that are 10' long. He, his wife and children are depicted with the elongated heads (common amongst the Egyptian ruling class) but like many other Pharoahs, Akhenaten wore huge headdresses for a practical reason. Previous Pharoahs had themselves portrayed through perfect styalised images, he commissioned artwork that portrayed him and his family as they were, however strange they looked.
Egyptian artwork is full of people in different sizes.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Some Africans further over in Africa still tie their heads up to shape their heads VERY, very similarity!!
That’s because they were aliens.
When will the real truth be told?
@@joncorrellattorney what is so funny?
Pharaoh was always portrayed as taller than everyone, because he was king and more important. Servants were shown as very small because they were lowly. Nothing to do with aliens or giants, just ego
17:49 The background piano music is so epic! Very unfortunate, no track name on the description...
I was so interested in this doc till it started with a pale boy as an Egyptian pharaoh 😑 This was made in 2019 and we still depicting ancient Egyptians as pale skinned people? Anyway, cool doc.
When I was at school I was taught he was co regent with his father for about 5 years and his father did not die until he had built Akhetaten. Certainly his mother, Queen Tiye, lived there. Also he was married to Nefertititi and had built the Gempaaten temple in Thebes before contemplating moving to the city dedicated to the Aten.
Akhenaton knew the Aten from his grandfather and father
Picture at 11:03 shows how the Sphinx could have looked adding a new tall platform feature above on head... area around hole in sphinx head shows tbis
He does show Egyptians being black thereafter, it may of been just an example. Anyways what's more important is what the Jews are depicted as or should I say Israelites!
There is a strange relation with this Farao and the Jewish religion.
If we look at the story of Moses, we find that he fits aproximately in this period.
Moses is the founding father of the Jewish monotheistic religion, and it cannot be ruled out that the roots of that religion takes their nourisment from Akenaton.
Some say they are the same person
True but Abraham is the founder of the Jewish Catholic and Muslim religion
I was the 19th like of your comment. 1+9=10, A ten.
Other way around. Read the Biblical account and overlay. Fills in the gaps amazingly well...Moses did not found the Hebrew people, but he was God's instrument of liberation from the Egyptians. They caused quite a stir on the way out the door, including the "sudden death" of the first born son. If I were this younger son and witnessed the display of the ten plagues which systematically made a mockery of the Egyptian false gods, I would have switched teams, too!
When he died
The priests that were with him went to jerusalem
They found it
Ancient ancestors of the motherland did not call themselves king and queen in ancient time. Europeans gave our ancient ancestors the name king and queen that's how much they admired our ancient ancestors of the motherland.
The story of this Akhenaten is very facinating to me. I am an Aten man from a small village call Ganawuri in Riyom local govt area of Plateau state, Nigeria. The dept of this story is almost the history of my people, i will like to have more of this story again. We call our God Etargbwei (God of the sun).

Yes, it was made into a classic Hollywood epic movie, THE EGYPTIAN (20th Century Fox, 1954). In the movie, British actor Michael Wilding essayed a fine portrayal of Akhenaten, with finely crafted authentic costumes.

Very poetic and philosophical is this video. Thanks, if I were Akhenaten.
If i were your daughter anhkesenamun i would be happy for this video too 😘🌹❤️
For Akhenaten, The Sun was the simplest most easy representation of Oneness or the One Creator as something that could be looked to and exemplify that Oneness to his people. That One is beyond any of the multiple gods or Idols. This man was totally devoted to a holy cause and took advantage of his position to steer Egyptian society back to a more intelligible spirituality and way of life.
i agree 👍
His mistake was not being knowledgeable about other suns in the sky called stars and that's why eygtians that were knowledgeable tried to tell him and show him he was wrong and dangerous to humanity if he kept his beliefs now look at the state of the world believing in one god their god 👀 wars and killings and slavery and destruction every where cause of belief in one god the sun god their god when all you got to do is look up especially at night to see many suns many gods many types of potential life forever as far as you can see they even have discovered planets around suns ahem stars 👀so go figure out monotheism 🤔
Intelligible? Just more mythology!
It's not "a person who is effective for the Aten" , it's "The shadow of Aten, the shadow of the light". That is very true since the physical form is crystallised energy, dense light. And Aten( which is Aton actually) is more "The Light within" which gives my life, the same way The Sun gives life to Earth.
brilliant video guys
Akhenaten has been a subject of great interest for me. One can only speculate about how ancient Egypt would have persisted had his changes persisted after his death. I suspect that it would have been a far different, less-rich culture.
He was a muslim and his best friend was Jusuf a s who was teach all egipt about islam and also Ahnathun was muslim.

Suddenly one Pharaoh became so attracted to monotheism that he was desparate to go against all odds.
No other Pharao ever did that.
He must have experienced something or maybe met someone who influenced him in Monotheism.
hint: Hotep = Joseph, son of Jacob, who was sold into slavery by his brothers, and rose to become Vizier of Egypt. He married an Egyptian Noble woman and their children and grand children would have been nobility, too. But, after 400 years, no one remembered Hotep's (Joseph's) origins. Amenhotep IV, was a descendant of that Joseph. As one old story line goes, he discovered his ancestry, and traced it all the way back to Seth, Adam's and Eve's son, who first taught men about god, EL. He became an El-ite -- tasked with the progressive perfection of Mankind.

The fact that you enslaved black people does mean they had no history.
Time will tell.
Amenhotep IV (later Akhenaten) did not want a "religious revolution".
This is an extreme misinterpretation and misunderstanding of the evidence.
Akhenaten's elevation of the Aten to greater prominence is greatly misunderstood.
He did not try to ban or eliminate other deities.
Consider the concept that the Aten (solar disk) when present hides everything in its blinding brightness.
The hidden nature and aspect of Amun (known as "the Hidden One") is more perfectly hidden in the presence of the Aten that dominates vision.
An observer who looks directly at the disk of the sun (the Aten) will see and be blinded by its brightness.
Amun is a hidden deity and the brightness of the Aten can blind observers from being able to see Amun (which is already hidden).
The hidden nature or aspect of Amun is therefore strengthened or magnified by the Aten.
The conceptual relationship and logic were expressed by Akhenaten's designs that are complex and logically true to the Aten and to Amun.
Further consider that references to Amun were diminished (made less prominent) in presence of the Aten (because Akhenaten elevated the Aten to greater prominence by conceptually demonstrating the Aten's presence).
Later, after Akhenaten (who had represented the Aten), Amun (notionally) emerged again.
The change of name of Akhenaten's son (proper successor to the throne) from Tut-Ankh-Aten to Tut-Ankh-Amun completed the symbolism of Akhenaten having represented the Aten.
It is all a conceptual representation of the Aten having risen to prominence in living form as Akhenaten.
The Aten then set like the sun with the passage of Akhenaten.
Amun (that had always been present and hidden even in the light or presence of the Aten) regained its prominence (as the Hidden One).
The label of "heretic" is mistakenly applied to Akhenaten.
The status of "the Hidden One" was not diminished by it being hidden by the prominence of the Aten.
Akhenaten was not a heretic against the Egyptian deities. He did not diminish or try to abolish the traditional order but instead he let the conceptual natures and aspects of the deities be expressed in his (Amarna) designs.
There was Amun.
The Aten then rose and people could see its brightness.
The Aten later set with the death of Akhenaten.
Again, there was Amun (symbolically represented by the names of his son (and also his daughter who became queen).
There was no heresy or conflict.
The Restoration Stele of Tutankhamun is also greatly misunderstood.
Nice Vid
Yes a fascinating story. Sounds like he represents two very important figures in the Bible.
Moses and Jesus. Moses as the Challenger to the old gods and Jesus for being a heretic(just a thought).
Antichrist.....Tupac
Yes…
Moses
I've heard conjecture that Akenaten is also known as Moses, as the last Hyksos pharoah, and him and his people were chased out of Egypt and wandered into the desert...
sounds like drug-induced conjecture.
Moses: late 13th Dynasty (per Rohl, Manetho)
Last Hyksos Pharaoh: 15th Dynasty was Khamudi (Manetho)
Akhenaten: late 18th Dynasty (Manetho)
In addition to written records, these dates align strongly with archaeological evidence.
While the date of Moses is disputed, there's not one genuine accredited (educated or professional) historian or archaeologist who equate the Hyksos with the 18th dynasty (which itself is defined by its defeat of Khamudi some 200+ years earlier by the first pharaoh of the 18th dynasty, Ahmose).

The reason why why all these religions are similar (father, Mother, son etc) is because they all worshipped and studied the constellations which tell one story. Each put thier own spin on it. Psalms 19:1. And the heavens declare your glory. Thats why the bible refers to all the major kingdoms who had similar gods. (Sumeria, Babylonian, Assyria, Egyptian, Persia, Greece, Rome, and Papal Rome). Same similar story, same God and Son story. The true understanding being hidden from most which is still debated today in our many religions which study the same stars and constellations. Each having its own spin on the original true story.
