	Akhenaten - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Akhenaten (original pronunciation ʔxnʔtn, vowels unknown; modern pronunciation axɛnatɛn), known as Amenhotep IV at the start of his reign, was a Pharaoh of the Eighteenth dynasty of Egypt, especially notable for single-handedly restructuring the Egyptian religion to monotheisticly worship the Aten.
		Akhenaten was not originally designated as the successor to the throne until the untimely death of his older brother, Tuthmose.
		Akhenaten simplified this syncretism by proclaiming the visible sun itself to be the sole deity, thus introducing a type of monotheism.

	Akhenaten, Dweller in Truth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Akhenaten, Dweller in Truth is a novel written and published by Nobel Prize-winning Egyptian author Naguib Mahfouz in 1985.
		On the way from Sais in ancient Egypt with his father, the scribe Meriamun points out the ruins of Akhetaten, the city that the "heretic pharaoh" Akhenaten built for his One and Only God.
		Seeking a balanced perspective on the events of that time, which split Egypt politically and religiously, Meriamun gets a letter of introduction from his father to many members of Akhenaten's court, among them the High Priest of Amun, his chief of security Haremhab, and his queen Nefertiti.

		Akhenaten as depicted on one of the colossal statues of the Gam-pa-Aten in Thebes at the time of his Jubilee of the Aten in Year 3.
		Thus Akhenaten, the visionary and iconoclast, is a discovery of the late capitalist West, unlike such figures of the past as Moses, Socrates, or Cleopatra.
		Akhenaten is different because he entered our cultural memory so recently, not out of classical literature but through the battered, often inscrutable objects retrieved by archaeologists from the ruins and rubbish dumps of his era.

	The Mysteries Of Akhenaten
		Akhenaten is reported to have had six daughters by Nefertiti alone which makes this explanation unlikely, although it is possible that the disease struck in later life
		In many of the Aten texts the god is addressed as 'Father', and it is possible that Akhenaten actually believed the sun disk to be the physical incarnation of Amenhotep III.
		Akhenaten may have wished to be remembered as a family man rather than a warrior.

		Akhenaten's wife, Nefertiti, is perhaps famous because of the canonical status given to the painted bust found in the city Akhet-Aten.
		While Akhenaten and his "Hymn to the Sun" are seen as a departure to Egyptian religion and ideas of kingship, the description given in Silverman's book Ancient Egypt discusses the central role of the sun in Egyptian thought.
		Akhenaten is at the beginning referred to by the name Amenhotep; Akhenaten would have been Amenhotep IV after the death of his father Amenhotep III, but he changed his name along with his religion.

		He talks to Akhenaten's tutor (and father in law), his chief priest, one of his childhood friends, the head of the army, and even his wife, Nefertiti, among others, each of whom give their own recollections.
		Akhenaten was summoned back to assume the throne on the death of his father.
		Akhenaten showed little interest in actually being pharaoh, but his wife, Queen Nefertiti, showed herself to be an expert in running the empire.

		Of course, Akhenaten and all he worked for were destroyed, but it is for the reader to decide if he won in the end.
		Akhenaten (formerly Amenhotep IV) was one of the most enigmatic pharaohs, one over which there is much historical, archeological, and mystical debate.
		Akhenaten, turning his back on the political and religious power structure which supported Egyptian pharaohs, rejected polytheism in favor of a single deity of love, light and joy, which precluded violence, punishment, and war.

	Akhenaten, Dweller in Truth (Naguib Mahfouz) - review
		And so he interviews everyone who knew him, from Akhenaten's archenemy the high priest of Amun to his wife Nefertiti: his father-, sister-, and mother-in-law, his commanders and ministers, his priests, his physician, and his sculptor.
		Dweller in Truth (al-`A'ish fi-l-haqiqa, 1985) is highly stylized.
		As well as the multi-faceted portrait of Akhenaten himself, there is a fascination in the ways in which the other characters reveal themselves in describing him.

		Aside from the life and beliefs of Akhenaten himself, key issues discussed are the mystery occupent of KV55, the possible co-regencies and the excavation of Amarna in modern times.
		It was, as the writer points out, the suddeness of these changes under Akhenaten that rocked Egyptian society, and which led to the inevitable backlash from the religious elite that followed his death.
		We are also shown Akhenaten as a family man. A devoted husband, father and son, as demonstrated by the many illustrations in the book.

		The particulars of Akhenaten's reign are unquestioned: the son of the great pharaoh Amenhotep III and Queen Tiye, Akhenaten is a sickly, irreverent and spiritually inclined young man who ascends the throne when his brother dies.
		Akhenaten, Egypt's first monotheistic ruler, endured a controversial reign, during which he struggled to impart his divine vision to an unwilling nation.
		As Meriamum pieces together the disparate accounts, both he and the reader are given a fascinating glimpse of Akhenaten, a man compelled to follow his faith no matter how disastrous the consequences.

		The Akhenaten of the title was a deeply controversial Pharaoh in ancient Egypt, who rejected the traditional gods in favour of monothesitic worship of the Sun.
		The art which survives from his reign is unique and strange in Egypt's tradition, showing Akhenaten and his family as pot-bellied people with strangely pointed heads and androgynous features.
		Meriamun interviews a wide range of both followers and enemies of Akhenaten, including his chief priest, chief of police, personal physician, his parents- and sister-in-law, his sculptor, and finally, his imprisoned wife.

	ACHUKASTORE - Akhenaten: Dweller in Truth A Novel - Book
		In translation, and in concept, the notion of considering an Egyptian Pharaoh as a human being; a visionary, a lunatic, a passionate priest, a meglomaniac, depending on whom you ask, is somehow counter-intuitive.
		The substance of Akhenaten's "heresy" is his praise of the God Aten over Amun, two of Egypt's poly-theistic dieties, and then his epiphany of the One and Only God.
		The frame story of a young nobleman investigating the truth about the notorious heretic pharaoh provides a vehicle for those close to Akhenaten tell their versions of what happened.

	Cruelty of memory (by Edward Said) - Media Monitors Network
		It is closer to the truth to see him, as the Lebanese novelist Elias Khoury has suggested, as providing in his novels a kind of history of the novel form, from historical fiction to the romance, saga, and picaresque tale, followed by work in realist, modernist, naturalist, symbolist, and absurdist modes.
		Moreover, despite his transparent manner, Mahfouz is dauntingly sophisticated not only as an Arabic stylist but as an assiduous student of social process and epistemology--that is, the way people know their experiences--without equal in his part of the world, and probably elsewhere for that matter.
		In Akhenaten the sun god changes the young, prematurely monotheistic king forever but never reveals himself, just as Akhenaten himself is seen only at a remove, described in the numerous narratives of his enemies, his friends, and his wife, who tell his story but cannot resolve his mystery.

	Mahfouz, Naguib; Abu-Hassabo, Tagreid; Mahfuz, Najib: Akhenaten: Dweller in Truth (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Narrating the novel is a young man with a passion for the truth, who questions the pharaoh's contemporaries after his death -- including Akhenaten's closest friends, his most bitter enemies, and finally his enigmatic wife, Nefertiti -- in an effort to discover what really happened in those strange, dark days at Akhenaten's court.
		As our narrator and each of the subjects he interviews contribute their version of Akhenaten, "the truth" becomes increasingly evanescent.
		Akhenaten encompasses all of the contradictions his subjects see in him: at once cruel and empathic, feminine and barbaric, mad and divinely inspired, his character, as Mahfouz imagines him, is eerily modern, and fascinatingly ethereal.

	Akhenaten: Dweller in Truth A Novel
		I would say, that while Akhenaten is an interesting figure, one I'd never heard of, he remains a historical mystery to me. That's not to say I didn't get the world of the Pharaoh's, their queens and families, their court and behavior.
		Only that it didn't captivate me. The notion of a mono-theistic Egypt is clearly a threat to the society, as well as a revolution, and the ensuing reactions of those around him is the tale told here.
		His place is never regarded in any wider context here, certainly on purpose, but that omission dries the story for me. Some praise and revere him, others deride and villanize him, all in an effort to shape an enigmatic and suspect historical figure.

		Akhenaten was a human being, neither totally good or totally bad; his behavior was a mixture of good and bad.
		First of all, Akhenaten did believe in the Aten, that was his one and only G-d.
		Not being much of a history-seeker, I borrowed this after having it recommended by a friend who read it, and was startled by its immediacy and was easily pulled in to the story of Akhenaten.

		A work of excellence by a scholar on the subject, AKHENATEN, DWELLER IN TRUTH is highly recommended for any students of ancient history, archaeology, and perhaps even conspiracies.

		The exaggerated features are present in many surviving statues of Akhenaten.
		The style developed throughout Akhenaten's reign, although interestingly as his rule drew to a close the statues began to return to a more traditional, and less extreme, representation of the Pharaoh.
		The extremes of the Amarna style are perhaps best typified by these two statues from the Cairo museum.

		In this beguiling new novel, originally published in 1985 and now appearing for the first time in the United States, Mahfouz tells with extraordinary insight the story of the "heretic pharaoh," or "sun king,"--and the first known monotheistic ruler--whose iconoclastic and controversial reign during the 18th Dynasty (1540-1307 B.C.) has uncanny resonance with modern sensibilities.
		Narrating the novel is a young man with a passion for the truth, who questions the pharaoh's contemporaries after his horrible death--including Akhenaten's closest friends, his most bitter enemies, and finally his enigmatic wife, Nefertiti--in an effort to discover what really happened in those strange, dark days at Akhenaten's court.
