King Akhenaten and members of his holy family

  • King Akhenaten and members of his holy family
  • Prince Amenhotep (King Amenhotep the Fourth after that) had attached to the sun’s religion, specifically the sun disk “Aten” since he was young. He was greatly influenced by his maternal uncle, who was great for the visionaries in the Temple of the God Ra, the sun god in the city of the sun: Heliopolis (the current Ain Shams and El Mataria regions in the east of Cairo Governorate). His father, King Amenhotep the Third, and his grandfather, King Thutmose the Fourth, had previously supported Aten, but Akhenaten took the biggest step and reached Aten at the same time and at the same time. And when Prince Amirhotep became a king other than his name in the sixth year of his reign, from Amenhotep the Fourth to “Akhenaten”, meaning “useful to Aten” to be completeConsistency with his new religious vocation and his new idol, the disc of the sun Aten, through which Akhenaten wanted to achieve universality for his vocation; the presence of the presence of the sun in Egypt and every place in the ancient Near East; The supreme pharaoh warrior king Thutmose III in Asia and Africa. The new religious vocation was well received by his beautiful and intelligent wife, Queen Nefertiti, who became one of the strongest supporters of King Akhenaten and his new vocation, and they became a complement to him and an integral component of the vocal call and the religion of the sun.
  • An important thing if the beautiful queen is not present with him, if not competing with the united king. At the beginning of his reign, King Akhenaten built a synagogue for the god Aten in Karnak, the holy place of the god Amun Ra, threatening the stable state of Amun Ra and his priests and challenging them in their own house, which made them conspire to him hatred and assure him of intrigues until he left their city, the good capital of ancient Egypt in an era. The modern state and moved to a new city that was not defiled by man before. Akhenaten called to gather all the gods in one GodIdol Aten. King Akhenaten never personified his new god in human form at all. This idea of ​​justice and the cosmic order is part of Akhenaten's new religion. This idea of ​​light and light constitutes an inability of the Atomic vocation in exchange for darkness and the forces of chaos. Akhenaten’s call does not imply the idea of ​​monotheism as we know it today, as the purpose of that call was to merge deities into one God as a political goal in order to limit the domination of the idol Amon Ra and his priests over rule during that period. Akhenaten tried to succeed in this, but he was not lucky with him long, because he was in a number of major catastrophic mistakes, as well as the closure of his call, and its establishment only on his person and members of his family, and his speed and short period of his rule, and his dependence on a number of hypocrites and beneficiaries who turned against him whenHis call ended, his state closed and lost its strength.
  • Contrary to what is rumored, Akhenaten never established a religious state. It is well known that the only religious state that it did in ancient Egypt was in the era of the family and after that, when the priests of God in the city of Thebes took advantage of the weakness of the central authority after the end of the modern state, they jumped to power, and established that family, which was ruled by the priests of Amun from the south under theocratic rule It was not acceptable to everyone and soon ended with the founding of King Shashanak I of the second family and in realizing the greatness of the ancestors of the kings of the modern state.

  • Akhenaten did not last long. Because of many major catastrophic mistakes that King Akhenaten tried to make, such as his persistent attempt to change the civilizational identity of the tolerant Egyptian state that accepts plurality with distinction, as well as his attempt to exclude everything and who is against him, the earthquake of the ancient Egyptian state is used, and neglecting Egypt's foreign policy and its kingdoms situation in the country The ancient Near East, the religious advocacy of his new idol, artistic, linguistic and literary innovations that did not affect the depth of society and did not accept it entirely, as well as change

  • The superiority that he wanted to impose on everyone in a short time, in addition to not caring about the ancient Egyptian civilizational heritage that extends in the Egyptian personality for thousands of years before the emergence of his religious call based on unilateralism and denying other deities and influential priests, and not paying attention to the nature of the Egyptian culture as well as the Egyptian personality and understanding its components and potentials Its end was tragic. This is because he was also the only mediator between his idol Aten and the people, and the state ended with his end, and the invitation was absent in his absence. The hypocrites who turnedThey went with him to his new city after his departure, cursed him, cursed his call, and deserted his city and called him "the heretical king" and "the rogue from Tel el-Amarna". And what remains of the Amarna era is nothing but the echoes of Amarna, which we still see standing before us as a memory of a ruling that did not last long politically, but it left traces testifying to the importance of the period religiously, artically, linguistically and literally. It suffices to take a look at a beautiful statue of Nefertiti in order to realize the magnificence of art and sincerity
  • Faith in the call by a few of some of the supporters of King Akhenaten and the use of art in the service of the Atonian religion, King Akhenaten and his royal family, his religious vocation, his philosophy of government and his view of religion and life.
  • It is the era of Amarna unique with all that it has on it.
