Akhenaton |
Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia | 0.07 sec. |
Akhenaton (or Ikhnaton)) A relief depicting the Egyptian pharaoh Akhenaton with his wife Nefertiti. King (pharaoh) of ancient Egypt of the 18th dynasty (c. 1353-1335 BC), who may have ruled jointly for a time with his father Amenhotep III. He developed the cult of the Sun, Aton, rather than the rival cult of Amen, and removed his capital to Akhetaton. Akhenaton's favourite wife was Nefertiti, and two of their six daughters were married to his successors Smenkhkare and Tutankaton (later known as Tutankhamen). |

| Here you see two photographs: a bust
made during the lifetime of Akhenaton [Amehotep IV, who ruled Egypt from
1352-1336 BC] and a portrait of the young Mikhail Mikhailovich. Sidebars include further
details, such as the rags-to-riches story of Weni, the ambiguous gender
of Akhenaton, and further information about texts found in the pyramids,
royal mummies, and tomb robberies. At the museum, we stood in front of an
ancient Egyptian relief depicting a ceremony presided over by the
Pharaoh Akhenaton and his queen, Nefertiti. |
