Akhenaten, Dweller in Truth is a novel written and published by Nobel Prize-winning Egyptian author Naguib Mahfouz in 1985.

Furthermore it is not clear to what extent Akhenaten's Atenism was monotheistic rather than henotheistic with Akhenaten himself identified with the god Aten.

The earliest instance where pr -` 3 is used specifically to address the ruler is in a letter to Amenhotep IV ( Akhenaten ), who reigned c. 1353-1336 BC, which is addressed to ' Pharaoh, all life, prosperity, and health !.

In the eighteenth dynasty, Akhenaten changed the polytheistic religion of Egypt to a monotheistic one, Atenism of the solar-disk and is the first recorded state monotheism.

In February 2010, the results of DNA tests confirmed that he was the son of Akhenaten ( mummy KV55 ) and Akhenaten's sister and wife ( mummy KV35YL ), whose name is unknown but whose remains are positively identified as " The Younger Lady " mummy found in KV35 .< ref name =" Hawass2010 "> Hawass, Zahi et al.

Given the fact that many of the royal depictions of Akhenaten often featured such an elongated head, it is likely an exaggeration of a family trait, rather than a distinct abnormality.

The deified Aten is the focus of the monolatristic, henotheistic, or monotheistic religion of Atenism established by Amenhotep IV, who later took the name Akhenaten in worship and recognition of Aten.

) This lengthy name was often shortened to Ra-Horus-Aten or just Aten in many texts, but the god of Akhenaten raised to supremacy is considered a synthesis of very ancient gods viewed in a new and different way.

Akhnaten is an opera in three acts based on the life and religious convictions of the pharaoh Akhenaten ( Amenhotep IV ), written by the American minimalist composer Philip Glass in 1983.

* Akhenaten is thought to have been born in this decade.

However, Dominic Montserrat in Akhenaten: History, Fantasy and Ancient Egypt argues that " there is now a broad consensus among Egyptologists that the exaggerated forms of Akhenaten's physical portrayal ... are not to be read literally ".

Representations of other persons than Akhenaten in the ' Amarna style ' are equally unflattering — for example, a carving of his father Amenhotep III as an overweight figure ; Nefertiti is shown in some statues as well past her prime, with a severe face and a stomach swollen by repeated pregnancies.

A previous theory that she fell into disgrace is now discredited, since the deliberate erasures of monuments belonging to a queen of Akhenaten have been shown to refer to Kiya instead.

Due to recent age tests on the mummy's teeth, it was believed that the ' Elder Lady ' is in fact Queen Tiye, mother of Akhenaten and that the DNA of the mummy is a close, if not direct, match to the lock of hair found in Tutankhamun's tomb.

The earliest mention of the people called Srdn-w, more usually called Sherden or Shardana, occurs in the Amarna Letters correspondence of Rib-Hadda, of Byblos, to Pharaoh Akhenaten, at about 1350 BCE.

In Amarna letter EA 26, Tushratta, king to Mitanni, corresponded directly with Tiye to reminisce about the good relations which he enjoyed with her then deceased husband and extended his wish to continue on friendly terms with her son, Akhenaten.

A letter from the Amarna palace archives dated to Year 2 — rather than Year 12 — of Akhenaten's reign from the Mitannian king, Tushratta, ( Amarna letter EA 27 ) preserves a complaint about the fact that Akhenaten did not honor his father's promise to forward Tushratta statues made of solid gold as part of a marriage dowry for sending his daughter, Tadukhepa, into the pharaoh's household.

Although Waltari employed some poetic license in combining the biographies of Sinuhe and Akhenaten, he was otherwise much concerned about the historical accuracy of his detailed description of ancient Egyptian life and carried out considerable research into the subject.

Waltari had long been interested in Akhenaten and wrote a play about him which was staged in Helsinki in 1938.

The KV55 mummy was originally given an estimated age of death from about twenty to twenty five years, which was seen as being far too young to be Akhenaten himself .< ref > Aldred, C., < cite > Akhenaten, King of Egypt </ cite > ( Thames and Hudson, 1988 ) pp. 201-202 </ ref > However, this identification was problematic as the archaeological evidence and inscriptions found in this tomb suggested that the body in KV55 was that of Akhenaten .< ref > Davis, T. M., < cite > The Tomb of Queen Tiyi </ cite >, ( KMT Communications.

Because of this the correctness of the original age estimates were repeatedly called into question ,< ref > Aldred, C., < cite > Akhenaten, King of Egypt </ cite > ( Thames and Hudson, 1988 ) p. 202 </ ref >< ref > Reeves, C.

The earliest known attempt was by the Egyptian Pharaoh Akhenaten, who, in about 1350 BC, decreed the Sun God Aten to be the supreme deity, apparently in reaction to his earlier lack of inclusion in religious rites by his family.

Akhenaten carried out a radical program of religious reform which, for a period of about twenty years, largely supplanted the age-old beliefs and practices of the Egyptian state religion, and deposed its religious hierarchy, headed by the powerful priesthood of Amun at Thebes.

Suggestions of a co-regency between Amenhotep III and his son Akhenaten lasting for up to twelve years continue, but most scholars today, either accept a brief co-regency lasting no more than one year at the most, or no co-regency at all.

During the Amarna period, a chronological synchronism between Egypt and Assyria is attested through the correspondence of Pharaoh Akhenaten and a King Ashuruballit.

Given that the Ashuruballit I synchronism with Akhenaten has become the crucial link between Egyptian and Mesopotamian history in recent years, this issue is a key area of focus and dispute.

There is currently no conclusive evidence of a co-regency between Amenhotep III and his son, Akhenaten.

This correspondence implies that if any co-regency occurred between Amenhotep III and Akhenaten, it lasted no more than a year at the most.

This could indicate a first step towards an agreement between the Atenist and traditional religions, which would be further consolidated during the reign of Tutankhamun .< ref > Reeves, C. N., < cite > Akhenaten, Egypt's false Prophet </ cite > ( Thames and Hudson ) pp. 164-165 </ ref >

As pointed out above, the reason some scholars distinguish between a male and female co-regent / successor of Akhenaten rests on the identification of the KV55 mummy as that of Smenkhkare.

The collection contains artefacts dating from between 4000BC ( the Predynastic era ) to the period of Roman rule, though most date from the rule of Akhenaten ( around 1340BC ).

Chronologically, Akhenaten: Son of the Sun takes place between the other two books, but it was written first.

However in the ninth year of his reign Akhenaten declared a more radical version of his new religion by declaring Aten not merely the supreme god, but the only god, and that he, Akhenaten, was the only intermediary between the Aten and his people.

The erased images of Tutankhamen were long thought to be of Akhenaten himself, supposedly evidence of a coregency between Akhenaten and Amenhotep III, though most scholars now reject this.

The Boundary Stelae at the city of Amarna were constructed between Year 5 and Year 8 in the reign of Akhenaten.

The earliest such synchronisms appear in the 15th century BC, during the Amarna Period, when we have a considerable quantity of diplomatic correspondence between the Egyptian Kings Amenhotep III and Akhenaten, and various Near Eastern monarchs.
