The sun rises behind the pyramids such a sight Before the Amarnian period, one doesn't give any proper names to the divinities. Greetings. Apart from the extended name of the god, two series of hymns to the Aten have come down to us, carved on the walls of tombs of high dignitaries.The great hymn to the Aten exists as one copy only, carved in the entrance corridor of the tomb of Ay (imgView('akh_61', 'fig 61') and mille merci, Nora!

About the Egyptian history I remember strongly the Greek character of the names; the People of the Sea that were defeated just in Egypt; the short time the natives get an autonomous Empire; Alexandria, and big as a pyramid this poetry, that could be from a professional poet, or truly from Nefertiti and Akhenaten; but undoubtedly has true love in its core , both Greek and Egyptian mythology have fascinated me since my childhood years and visiting Egypt has marked me to life(Greece is on our list after we retire as its only 2h-flight from here!) They are a transcript of the education provided by Akhenaten himself (whether he or his theologians have imagined it is an insoluble question).It is difficult not to see in these hymns the mystical impetus of a visionary, but from another point of view, we are also in the presence of a closed theological-political programme, which prohibits glosses and other exegeses of which Egyptian thinkers were so fond.

As we go together in royal marriage Egypt is such a magical place what a perfect reminder of its beauty, great post!

I once visited the village of Labrugiere (near Castres) when I was younger on a student exchange program. radiating disc But here, there are no oracles, the god Aten is a silent god whose wishes only the king is competent to reveal.No more real priests, no more oracles Akhenaten has found a very efficient way of preventing any criticism of his actions!Note, too, that the practice of magic, so important in the traditional religion, has no place in the Amarna system and disappears. For my attention as a man A Co-authored piece by She is everywhere, immutable and only the king can interpret her desire.In effect, Maat is now Akhenaten himself!

Greetings. We can, nevertheless, get a good idea of his religious conceptions thanks, on one hand, to the explanations that he gave of the names of the god Aten and, on the other hand, to two series of hymns that were found engraved in the tombs of courtiers at Tell-el-Amarna.
