Akhnaton (also known as Akhenaten) ruled as Pharoah of Egypt during the 18th Dynasty, from 1353 1336 B.C. During his reign, Akhnaton attempted to institute a monotheistic religion, the worship of Aten. This religion would dissipate after his death, as Egypt returned to its traditional polytheistic worship. He is also noteworthy because of his marriage to Queen Nefertiti. This edition contains images of Akhnaton, his family, Egyptian gods, and more. A table of contents is included for easier navigation.
