Akhenaten: Egypt's Mystery Pharaoh
video description
While Armenian tribes were building temples at Portasar 12, 000 years ago, Turks and Azeris were still walking on their knuckles scrounging around for grass seeds in the Gobi desert and perhaps not fully evolved yet as hominids.

The reason people are so confused by Akhenaten and the Amarna Period is because a Monotheistic religion was implemented and failed. As Westerners in a society formed by Christian ideology, we've been conditioned to see Monotheism as progress, a step upward on the (now defunct) 'hierarchy of religions'. That Akhenaten's religion failed throws our suppositions out the window. But when we look deeper, we see that Atenism was a shallow belief that fulfilled essentially none of the spiritual needs of the people. The native Egyptian religion had Gods and Goddesses who were approachable by the people and a system of morality that gave hope for a better life after death. Atenism was a religion the lacked moral guidelines, had a distant God, and the afterlife depended solely on loyalty the king. So when we take these factors into account, it isn't a wonder that Atenism failed.

Akhenaten was not practicing monotheism. He was not denying that he was a god. The people worshipped him. He worshipped the symbol of the sun. This is monolatry or henotheism. One god is emphasized without denying the existence of the others.

Makes me think he might have been inspired by early Judaism. The worship of one God means one sect, though I recall there are several different sects of Judaism right? Though then again, they wouldn't have existed in this time period.

Mistery no more. One God religion is because Akhenaton has NDE and only way he can explain what God look like is that God is like sun. People in NDE explain that. Followers Akhenatons new religion are HEBREW.

Akhenaten was found in my DNA though i am a jew, solomon's first wife was the pharaoh's daughter, so this can mean only one thing that i am of the lie of king david and king solomon.

Weren't jews around there by the time? It wouldn't be the first time they spread a heresy among a local court. (See Judaizing Heresy of 16th century Rus)

The Narcissist king - just one god (My God) - the priests were managing the whole country centuries before Akhenaten, and were doing so long after he left.

did Pharaoh Akhenaten really received the tablets containing the Ten Commandments of God or they only etched the petroglyphs after Akhenaten was laid?

I also have been informed that it was a power play by the Pharoe to break the political power and social influence of the preistly leaders.
