	Akhenaten - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Akhenaton simplified this syncretism by proclaiming the visible sun itself to be the sole deity, thus introducing monotheism.
		Some commentators interpret this as a proto-scientific naturalism, based on the observation that the sun's energy is the ultimate source of all life.
		Instead, Velikovsky identifies Akhenaton as the history behind Oedipus and moved the setting from the Greek Thebes to the Egyptian Thebes.

		Akhenaton was the son of Amenhotep III and Tiy, and husband of Nefertiti, whose beauty is known through contemporary portrait busts.
		Akhenaton was the last important ruler of the 18th dynasty of the New Kingdom and notable for adopting, and eventually virtually identifying himself with, Aton, or Aten, the sun god or solar disc, whom he believed to be a universal, omnipresent spirit and the sole creator of the universe.
		Peace was brought to Egypt during his reign as the worship of Amon, abandoned under Akhenaton, was restored and Thebes, the sacred city of Amon, was again made Egypt's capital.

	Biography - AKHENATON
		Indisputably the leader of IAM, Akhenaton quickly became a spokesman of choice for the media due to his charisma, his ease to express himself, his astute sense to know when and how to criticize, but also his sincerity and his frankness.
		Akhenaton and Kheops wrote the soundtrack for "Taxi", one of the biggest French cinema hits in 1998, by Robert Pires whose producer was none other than Luc Besson.
		But what remained a major project for Akhenaton at the end of the Nineties was without a doubt the film that he co-wrote with his associate Kamel Saleh.

	ELECTRONIC ANTIQUITY V5N3
		Akhenaton's place in history will be found in his faith, not amidst the arcana of chronological disputes or the febrile imaginations of students of Egyptian art.
		Akhenaton's relationship to the Aten was not simply that of father-son - it was a far more personal one than had hitherto existed within Nile Valley civilization - and it meant a complete demythologization of preexisting conceptions of religion, the gods, and the entire gamut of Egyptian intellectualizations centered on those crucial nexi of Being.
		Whether or not Akhenaton ought to be considered a religious fundamentalist is another issue that Hornung does not fail to discuss (see pages 125-6), and his brief comments can be read with Redford's more trenchant analysis of 1984.

		Akhenaton was born as Amenhotep about 1370 B.C., before the time of Moses and Ramses and the story of the Exodus.
		Akhenaton's persecution of other gods in Egypt can be taken (with some hesitancy) as an argument for the monotheistic nature of his faith, and that is the assumption and idea I am going with.

		Akhenaton, rapper and chief spokesperson for Marseille rap group IAM, was born Philippe Fragione, son of immigrants from the region of Calabria in South Italy, who settled in Marseille.
		According to Akhenaton, the name IAM (standing for Imperial Asiatic Men) was chosen after he read Senegalese writer Cheikh Anta Diop, one of Afrocentrism's leading theorists, who spurred a pre-existing interest in the Asiatic Middle East as the origin of the monotheistic religions and in Egypt as the (Black) cradle of civilization.
		Akhenaton stresses that the Islam he espouses is tolerant and characterized by a mystical beauty, and that he is neither a "fundamentalist" (intégriste) nor a provocateur (Péguillan 1995).

	Akhenaton: Ancient Revolutionary (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		In this respect Akhenaton's revolution consists of the gospel of beauty and beneficence of the natural order, a recognition of the message of nature to the soul of man. The breath of nature had touched life and art at the same time and quickened them with a new vision.
		When we place the revolutionary movement of Akhenaton against this background of popular discontent and then add to it the secret opposition of a powerful priesthood, a powerful army which disliked the king's peace policy, we begin to appreciate the powerful individuality of this first intellectual leader in history.
		Akhenaton was the world's first revolutionary, and he was fully convinced that he might entirely recast the world of religion, thought, and life by the invincible purpose he held.

	Akhenaton
		Akhenaton's great-grandfather, Thotmes III, and his father, Amenophis III, were among the world's mightiest conquerors and had extended their kingdoms over the then civilized world, and even into savage Europe.

		But the effeminate body, with its curving contours, and the long full-lipped face, heavy lidded eyes, and dreaming expression are a far cry indeed from the heroically proportioned figures of Akhenaton's predecessors.
