Discusses how Amenhotep IV became Akhenaten and completely changed the religion of Egypt.

Professor Wildung traces the evolution of the elaborate Egyptian mythology through the legends of two historical persons prominent in the politics and culture of ancient Egypt: Imhotep, builder of the Step Pyramid at Sakhara, and Amenhotep III, the father of Akhenaten. Through the veneration of their contemporaries and later generations, these two figures rose to the level of saints and ultimately became legitimate members of the pantheon. The popularity of such saints created by the feelings and eeds of a religious people, was generally encouraged by the reigning kings who presented themselves as intermediaries between man and god, acting as healers, advisors, and oracular gods. A systematic classification of the self deification of these Pharaohs reveals their attempts to encourage popular acceptance of the Pharaoh as a holy person and exposes the fagility of the famous sacred kingship and the weaknesses and human characters of the Pharaohs.

Akhenaten, also known as Amenhotep IV, was king of Egypt during the Eighteenth Dynasty and reigned from 1375 to 1358 B.C. E. Called the "religious revolutionary," he is the earliest known creator of a new religion. The cult he founded broke with Egypt's traditional polytheism and focused its worship on a single deity, the sun god Aten. Erik Hornung, one of the world's preeminent Egyptologists, here offers a concise and accessible account of Akhenaten and his religion of light.Hornung begins with a discussion of the nineteenth-century scholars who laid the foundation for our knowledge of Akhenaten's period and extends to the most recent archaeological finds. He emphasizes that Akhenaten's monotheistic theology represented the first attempt in history to explain the entire natural and human world on the basis of a single principle. "Akhenaten made light the absolute reference point," Hornung writes, "and it is astonishing how clearly and consistently he pursued this concept." Hornung also addresses such topics as the origins of the new religion; pro-found changes in beliefs regarding the afterlife; and the new Egyptian capital at Akhetaten which was devoted to the service of Aten, his prophet Akhenaten, and the latter's family.

At the end of the 19th century Egyptologists discovered, in two robbed tombs at Luxor, the remains of over 40 mummies dating from the 17th to the 21st Dynasties (1580 BC to 940 BC). These included the bodies of Ahmose, Thutmose III, Amenhotep II and III, Seti I, Ramesses II and III, and Merneptah. This book brings together for the first time all the photographs of the unique collection of mummies and coffins found in the two `Royal Caches' and other royal burials which include Yuya, Thuya and Tutankhamun. Each mummy and coffin is described in detail with brief information about the tomb. Diseases and ailments, mummification techniques and the very origins of the process are covered. Other topics featured are the problems of identification, conservation of remains, and reconstructing lifetime appearance.

Surveying the depiction of the female form during Egypt's Amarna period (circa 1353-1336 BC), this is the catalogue of an October 1996 exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. During the reign of Amenhotep IV, also known as Akhenaten, Egyptian art saw a brief flowering of expressive, intimate images. This period is especially interesting because many well-preserved pieces exist, including portraits of Queen Nefertiti and her six daughters. The book traces the evolution of the elegant image of Nefertiti during the reign of Akhenaten, as well as the respresentations of her children, which are remarkable for their sensuous and youthful eroticism. Other depictions of royal women from the court at Armana include a delicately carved bust of a princess that shows a close affinity to works of art from the tomb of Tutankhamun. Many of the pieces came from the workshop of Tuthmose, sculptor to the king and one of the few artists of Ancient Egypt whose name is known.
