117–73 and Chapter 12, pp. In his second or twelfth year,[109] Akhenaten ordered his Viceroy of Kush Tuthmose to lead a military expedition to quell a rebellion and raids on settlements on the Nile by Nubian nomadic tribes. In Parennefer's tomb, Amenhotep IV and Nefertiti are seated on a throne with the sun disc depicted over the pharaoh and his queen. Regardless of the celebration's aim, Egyptologists believe that during the festivities Amenhotep IV only made offerings to the Aten rather than the many gods and goddesses, as was customary. [69] In Ramose's tomb, Amenhotep IV appears on the west wall, seated on a throne, with Ramose appearing before the pharaoh. Even though they continued to diverge, these changes brought the spoken and written language closer to one another more systematically than under previous pharaohs of the New Kingdom. A Chronology of Joseph in Egypt as YuyaThe Talmud reference in the "Jacob in Egypt" chapter about Joseph having been in Egypt … ("Lettre Aux Hirondelles" contains a sample of "Said et Mohamed" performed by [a=Francis Cabrel] courtesy of [l=Chandelle Productions]). ("Lettre Aux Hirondelles" contains a sample of "Said et Mohamed" performed by [a=Francis Cabrel] courtesy of [l=Chandelle Productions]). While Nefertiti's familial relationship with Akhenaten is known, whether Akhenaten and Smenkhkare were related by blood is unclear. [95][96][97][98], Early in his reign, Akhenaten was evidently concerned about the expanding power of the Hittite Empire under Suppiluliuma I. [137] Despite leaving the sarcophagus behind, Akhenaten's mummy was removed from the royal tombs after Tutankhamun abandoned Akhetaten and returned to Thebes. [205], Following Akhenaten's death, Egypt gradually returned to its traditional polytheistic religion, partly because of how closely associated the Aten became with Akhenaten. Seti I restored monuments to Amun and had the god's name re-carved on inscriptions where it was removed by Akhenaten. Representations are more realistic, expressionistic, and naturalistic,[213][214] especially in depictions of animals, plants and people, and convey more action and movement for both non-royal and royal individuals than the traditionally static representations. Under the Ramessides, who succeeded Seti I, Akhetaten was gradually destroyed and the building material reused across the country, such as in constructions at Hermopolis. Under Amenhotep III and Akhenaten, Egypt was unable or unwilling to oppose the rise of the Hittites around Syria. The Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities called this "conclusive evidence" that Akhenaten shared power with his father for at least eight years, based on the dating of the tomb. They are either a Bildungsroman, focusing on Akhenaten's psychological and moral growth as it relates to establishing Atenism and Akhetaten, as well as his struggles against the Theban Amun cult. [206] Atenism likely stayed dominant through the reigns of Akhenaten's immediate successors, Smenkhkare and Neferneferuaten, as well as early in the reign of Tutankhaten. [54] The only person we know for certain served the prince was Parennefer, whose tomb mentions this fact. "[136] In the years following the burial, Akhenaten's sarcophagus was destroyed and left in the Akhetaten necropolis; reconstructed in the 20th century, it is in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo as of 2019. Joseph, whose family worshipped a monotheistic deity loosely known as Almighty God or El Shaddai, brought his family to Egypt 430-some years before the Exodus. "; Brown 2014, p. 61–73: "the question of the relationship between Egyptian hymns and the Psalms remains open". [153] Their successors then attempted to erase Akhenaten and his family from the historical record. By the time of Akhenaten they’d have been long gone, one of many groups of people in the region. [6][7][149][150][151] For instance, the discussion of the study results does not discuss that Tutankhamun's father and the father's siblings would share some genetic markers; if Tutankhamun's father was Akhenaten, the DNA results could indicate that the mummy is a brother of Akhenaten, possibly Smenkhkare. Egyptologists believe that Akhenaten could be referring to conflict with the priesthood and followers of Amun, the patron god of Thebes. [223] This required "a symbolic gathering of all the attributes of the creator god into the physical body of the king himself", which will "display on earth the Aten's multiple life-giving functions". [171] During the New Kingdom, the pharaoh started to be associated with the sun disc; for example, one inscriptions called the pharaoh Hatshepsut the "female Re shining like the Disc," while Amenhotep III was described as "he who rises over every foreign land, Nebmare, the dazzling disc. [208][209], Over time, however, Akhenaten's successors, starting with Tutankhaten, took steps to distance themselves from Atenism. [212], Styles of art that flourished during the reigns of Akhenaten and his immediate successors, known as Amarna art, are markedly different from the traditional art of ancient Egypt. Let my burial be made in it, in the millions of jubilees which the Aten, my father, decreed for me. Et on l’oublie aussi en prison… Joseph croupi ainsi deux ans en prison, et la suite se trouve dans la parasha Miketz, telle que décrite plus haut. Tuthmoses was given the titles King’s Son of Kush, overseer of the Gold Lands of Amun, Overseer of masons, overseer of the borderlands of His Majesty, and fan-bearer on the King's right. [184] The Aten may also have been the subject of Akhenaten's royal Sed festival early in the pharaoh's reign. [11] For example, Egyptologist Dimitri Laboury suggests that the marriage took place in Akhenaten's fourth regnal year. A successful Hittite attack on Mitanni and its ruler Tushratta would have disrupted the entire international balance of power in the Ancient Middle East at a time when Egypt had made peace with Mitanni; this would cause some of Egypt's vassals to switch their allegiances to the Hittites, as time would prove.

Is wiki correct? [219], Based on Akhenaten's and his family's unusual artistic representations, including potential depictions of gynecomastia and androgyny, some have argued that the pharaoh and his family have either suffered from aromatase excess syndrome and sagittal craniosynostosis syndrome, or Antley–Bixler syndrome. 2010, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Akhenaten&oldid=1016790115, Pharaohs of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt, Articles containing Ancient Egyptian-language text, Articles with Spanish-language sources (es), Pages using Sister project links with wikidata namespace mismatch, Pages using Sister project links with hidden wikidata, Pages using Sister project links with default search, Wikipedia articles with CINII identifiers, Wikipedia articles with WORLDCATID identifiers, Wikipedia articles with multiple identifiers, Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License, Najovits, Simson. [262] His afterlife takes the form of 'Aten', a location that draws heavily on the architecture of the city of Amarna.[263]. Medium: Indurated limestone [162] The gods replaced the pharaoh as their own representatives on Earth. [48] Finally, various monuments, originally for Kiya, were reinscribed for Akhenaten's daughters Meritaten and Ankhesenpaaten. [4] These years are poorly attested and only a few pieces of contemporary evidence survive; the lack of clarity makes reconstructing the latter part of the pharaoh's reign "a daunting task" and a controversial and contested topic of discussion among Egyptologists. The views of Egyptologists differ whether Atenism should be considered as absolute monotheism, or whether it was monolatry, syncretism, or henotheism. [145] She was, in turn, probably succeeded by Tutankhaten, with the country being administered by the vizier and future pharaoh Ay. [116], Overall, archeological evidence suggests that Akhenaten paid close attention to the affairs of Egyptian vassals in Canaan and Syria, though primarily not through letters such as those found at Amarna but through reports from government officials and agents. The final stage had the Aten represented as a sun disc with sunrays like long arms terminating in human hands and the introduction of a new epithet for the god: "the great living Disc which is in jubilee, lord of heaven and earth. All things concerning Ancient Egyptian archaeological developments, art, culture, history, or appreciation. "[176], In the early years of his reign, Amenhotep IV lived at Thebes, the old capital city, and permitted worship of Egypt's traditional deities to continue. [231] Following the publication of his book, the concept entered popular consciousness and serious research. Evidence suggests that the troubles on the northern frontier led to difficulties in Canaan, particularly in a struggle for power between Labaya of Shechem and Abdi-Heba of Jerusalem, which required the pharaoh to intervene in the area by dispatching Medjay troops northwards. Le patriarche Joseph de la Bible a désormais un visage et un nom : celui d’Amenophis Fils de Hapou, le plus grand scribe et savant de l’Égypte, qui inspira Akhenaton, le pharaon monothéiste. Though i have no proof that the story in the bible is connected with what is written on Egyptian stele's. Yuya held the title "Overseer of the Cattle of Min at Akhmin" during his life. Press J to jump to the feed. Because of Joseph's position and his achievements,. [255] A dividing line also exists between depictions of Akhenaten from before the 1920s and since, when more and more archeological discoveries started to provide artists with material evidence about his life and times. [99] What Rib-Hadda did not comprehend was that the Egyptian king would not organize and dispatch an entire army north just to preserve the political status quo of several minor city states on the fringes of Egypt's Asiatic Empire. I will list some names below, which post-date Userkaf, Djedkare Isesi (known in Greek as Tancheres) was a pharaoh, the eighth and penultimate ruler of the Fifth Dynasty of Egypt in the late 25th century to mid-24th century BC. Akhenaten also appears in The Egyptian (1945) by Mika Waltari, which was adapted into the The Egyptian (film) movie (1953). Or is this wrong? He did not immediately start redirecting worship toward the Aten and distancing himself from other gods. Since the time of the ancestors, it is the wise man that knows these things. [68], Artistic depictions continued unchanged early in Amenhotep IV's reign. And it was here that Djoser had eleven extremely large pits constructed which can only be grain storage bins. Akhenaten also had four or five sisters: Sitamun, Henuttaneb, Iset, Nebetah, and possibly Beketaten. When Rib-Hadda appealed in vain for aid from Akhenaten and then turned to Aziru, his sworn enemy, to place him back on the throne of his city, Aziru promptly had him dispatched to the king of Sidon, where Rib-Hadda was almost certainly executed. Genetic testing has determined that the man buried in KV55 was Tutankhamun's father,[19] but its identification as Akhenaten has since been questioned.[6][7][20][21][22]. [193] From "Living Re-Horakhty, who rejoices in the horizon in his name Shu-Re who is in Aten," the god's name changed to "Living Re, ruler of the horizon, who rejoices in his name of Re the father who has returned as Aten," removing the Aten's connection to Re-Horakhty and Shu, two other solar deities. Does really Akhenaten and Joseph close friends? Additionally, letters written to Akhenaten from foreign rulers make reference to Meritaten as "mistress of the house." Third, Amenhotep IV did not yet destroy temples to the other gods and he even continued his father's construction projects at Karnak's Precinct of Amun-Re. The boundary stelae detailing Akhetaten's founding is damaged where it likely explained the pharaoh's motives for the move. [107] The Amarna letters also show that vassal states were told repeatedly to expect the arrival of the Egyptian military on their lands, and provide evidence that these troops were dispatched and arrived at their destination. 1352–1336 B.C. [79][80][81], "Crowned in Heliopolis of the South" (Thebes), Around the same time he changed his royal titulary, on the thirteenth day of the growing season's fourth month, Akhenaten decreed that a new capital city be built: Akhetaten (Ancient Egyptian: ꜣḫt-jtn, meaning "Horizon of the Aten"), better known today as Amarna. The pharaoh contrasted this with the only remaining god, the sun disc Aten, who continued to move and exist forever. [70] He also ordered the construction of a large temple complex dedicated to the Aten at Karnak in Thebes, northeast of the parts of the Karnak complex dedicated to Amun. Kinkela Wa Ma Zulu Khufu Imhotep Akhenaton Her Ra. [64], The beginning of Amenhotep IV's reign followed established pharaonic traditions. [64] He was most likely crowned in Thebes, or less likely at Memphis or Armant. The monotheism of the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament had its own separate development—one that began more than half a millennium after the pharaoh's death. Son tombeau - … How exalted they are. vv. Horemheb could also have ordered that Akhetaten, Akhenaten's capital city be demolished. I'm afraid that the probably mythic patriarch Joseph had nothing to do with Akenaten. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. [44][45] While this is debated, some historical parallels exist: Akhenaten's father Amenhotep III married his daughter Sitamun, while Ramesses II married two or more of his daughters, even though their marriages might simply have been ceremonial. [101], In a view discounted by the 21st century,[102] several Egyptologists in the late 19th and 20th centuries interpretated the Amarna letters to mean that Akhenaten was a pacifist who neglected foreign policy and Egypt's foreign territories in favor of his internal reforms.

After his death, Akhenaten's monuments were dismantled and hidden, his statues were destroyed, and his name excluded from lists of rulers compiled by later pharaohs. [197][198] The hymn celebrates the sun and daylight and recounts the dangers that abound when the sun sets. [27] Thutmose's early death, perhaps around Amenhotep III's thirtieth regnal year, meant that Akhenaten was next in line for Egypt's throne. Surviving parts claim what happened to Akhenaten was "worse than those that I heard" previously in his reign and worse than those "heard by any kings who assumed the White Crown," and alludes to "offensive" speech against the Aten. Post by @kinkelawamazulu. [252] However, DNA tests on Tutankhamun in 2010 proved negative for Marfan syndrome. [221], Arguing instead for a symbolic interpretation, Dominic Montserrat in Akhenaten: History, Fantasy and Ancient Egypt states that "there is now a broad consensus among Egyptologists that the exaggerated forms of Akhenaten's physical portrayal... are not to be read literally". [253], By the early 21st century, most Egyptologists argued that Akhenaten's portrayals are not the results of a genetic or medical condition, but rather should be interpreted through the lens of Atenism. [56] It is known that Amenhotep's brother, crown prince Thutmose, served in this role before he died. Ahmed Osman has claimed that Akhenaten's maternal grandfather Yuya was the same person as the Biblical Joseph. Tutankhaten and his wife Ankhesenpaaten dropped the Aten from their names and changed them to Tutankhamun and Ankhesenamun, respectively. [190][191] Representations of the Aten were always accompanied with a sort of hieroglyphic footnote, stating that the representation of the sun as all-encompassing creator was to be taken as just that: a representation of something that, by its very nature as something transcending creation, cannot be fully or adequately represented by any one part of that creation.
