Pharaoh of the Sun: Akhenaten, Amarna, and Monotheism in Ancient Egypt
Join Dr. Steve Phillips on Zoom for another fascinating lecture!
Ancient Egyptian king Amenhotep IV changed his name to Akhenaten and soon declared that Egyptians would abandon the traditional worship of a pantheon of hundreds of gods and goddesses and focus instead on a single deity, the Aten. Did Akhenaten found the world’s first monotheistic religion? Dr. Phillips will illuminate the subject.
