  Oedipus and Akhnaton
As Velikovsky dug into the Oedipus and Akhnaton background materials he found several problems that mitigated against a Thebes Greece origin for Oedipus and pointed rather in the direction of Thebes Egypt.
In contrast to this "innocent victim" scenario, Velikovsky calls our attention to the idea that the historical Amenhotep IV (Akhnaton to be) was raised in exile, most likely with royal relatives in a region in or near Persia where special mother-son relations were in vogue.
Velikovsky's research on Oedipus and Akhnaton, using Sophocles' Oedipus Rex as his primary source on Oedipus, began in the latter part of 1939.

 When the House of Akhnaton Died Out
A few decades before this uproar, in the second part of the ninth century, the glorious Theban (Eighteenth) Dynasty of Egypt came to an end and the house of Akhnaton degenerated and was extirpated.
I showed also how the tragic fate of the house of Akhnaton gave rise to a legendary cycle that reached to the shores of Greece, took hold of the imagination of generations of poets, and survived in its legendary form till our own days.
His burial was violated by the emissaries of Ay, brother of Queen Tiy, mother of Akhnaton.

  Akhnaton
Akhnaton is voor mij meer dan de wat warrige Zonnekoning die korte tijd de koers van het Oude Egypte wat wilde verleggen, hij was een echte mysticus, een innerlijk gedrevene met een boodschap die ook nu nog waarde heeft.
Akhnaton was natuurlijk ook een farao in het machtige Egypte.
Naar mijn mening was Akhnaton in politiek opzicht misschien niet zo'n grote farao, maar hij was belangrijk als idealist die dacht dat alles mogelijk was zolang het met liefde gedaan werd.

 Ancient Egypt
A princess was brought from a long distance whose beauty was of such glory and magnificence that everyone believed that the young Pharaoh Akhnaton, as soon as he saw her, would reject Hareth and turn to this Princess instead.
The bodies of Hareth and Akhnaton look as they looked in life - no decomposition, no fading of the tissue, no darkening of the colour of the skin, for the preservation of these bodies is perfect; only when the light of day strikes them do they crumble into dust.
But they will not crumble until their proof is established and all those who have the right to do so have been permitted to look upon the features of one of the greatest and most important Kings that the earth has ever seen.

 Oedipus and Akhnaton
In Oedipus and Akhnaton, Immanuel Velikovsky identifies the scene and all the personages of the Greek Oedipus legend with the life patterns of the family of the Egyptian King Akhnaton, reputedly the first monotheist during the most famous period of Egyptian history.
As a feat in unraveling myth, lore, and fact, Immanuel Velikovsky's startling new approach can be likened to the evidence of Schliemann's discovery of Troy, of the discovery of the Minoan civilization, or of the deciphering of Mycenaean.
Oedipus and Akhnaton is an extraordinary literary and historical study.

 PostPoems - Pharaoh of Love by: David Arthur Walters
Akhnaton (c.1395-1366 B.C.E.) found the site for his holy city in the fl virgin soil undefiled by man and the pantheon of gods Egypt had accumulated over the centuries: "For it was Aton, my Father, that brought me to this City of the Horizon.
Akhnaton proclaimed: "O thou sole God, whose powers no other possesseth, Thou didst create the earth according to Thy desire, whilst Thou wast alone: men, all cattle large and small, all that are upon the earth, that go about upon their feet; all that are on high, that fly with their wings.
Akhnaton's solar disk was the most convenient visible symbol for the universal deity: the solar sign might be effaced, but the all powerful Sun would defiantly remain as evidence of the invisible essence of the one god.

Akhnaton, in his love of truth, seems to have deliberately stripped himself of all the mystery that had helped his fathers to appear as gods in the eyes of their prostrate people.
They wanted Akhnaton to be cursed, and so he was; they wanted him to be forgotten, and so he was; it was their will that never, never again the world should hear his name, and for over three millenniums the world did not.
The thoroughness with which Akhnaton followed his course is one of the early recorded instances of that unbending determination that he showed all his life, once he felt sure which way he was to act in accordance with truth.

 The SAVITRI DEVI Archive
Akhnaton has not only been harshly treated by his actual opponents during his lifetime and immediately after his death, but also charged with “fanaticism,” “intolerance,” etc., and criticised by some men of the XXth century A.D. with as much bitter hatred as if these gentlemen looked upon him as their personal foe.
Akhnaton’s loving confidence in human nature can be seen even in his indignant letter to Aziru, his treacherous Syrian vassal, after it had been confirmed that Aziru had handed over Ribaddi, the loyal prince of Byblos, to his enemies, the Amorite princes.
But Akhnaton was too good even to suspect such an amount of deceit, meanness and cruelty as that of his unworthy vassal, specially after all Aziru’s protestations of loyalty—and his letter reveals to us his painful amazement in front of the darkest side of humanity, suddenly thrust before him by hard facts.

Savitri’s defense of Akhnaton’s this-worldly mysticism clearly owes much to Nietzsche’s critique of other-worldly religions and his exhortations to remain loyal to the earth, the body, and the physical world in general.
Akhnaton’s insistence on ‘living in truth’ and his cult of simplicity and naturalness are reminiscent of Taoism.
Perhaps I have failed to understand Akhnaton; but it still seems to me that he has not solved the fundamental human problem—to reconcile eternity with time—and that the true solutions are to be found elsewhere, in Lao‑Tze, for example, in Zen, in Eckhart.

 The Shattering Fall of Queen Nefertiti   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Akhnaton and Nefertiti were inseparable in early reliefs, many of which showed their family in loving, almost utopian compositions [87].
Leaving behind her, in Egypt, a daughter to serve as Akhnaton's wife, and with another one (Athaliah) now ruling in Jerusalem as a virtual clone of her mother, the aging queen returned to Israel (perhaps with her remaining daughters) to be with her king-son, Jehoram, in Jezreel.
Akhnaton had decreed: "If the Great Queen Nefertiti who lives, should die in any town of north, south, west or east, she shall be brought and buried at Akhetaten" [210].

 Nefertiti and Akhnaton
If we judge him through the pictures his artists have left of him, Akhnaton was far from being one of those austere thinkers who shun pleasure as an obstacle to the development of the spirit or even as a meaningless waste of time and energy.
Taken literally, this would seem to indicate that Akhnaton believed all men to have been born and to have lived for himself and for his consort, from the dawn of the human race onwards, which is obviously not what he intended to say.
And "all men," it may be suggested were "raised up" for her in the sense that her approach to eternal truth, through the simplicity of a loving heart, corresponded to an essential stage which they all had to reach before being able to experience within themselves the immanent Soul of the Sun.

In a letter sent by Dushratta, king of Mitanni, to Akhnaton, Tiy is called my sister, which would indicate that she herself was, through one of her parents at least, if not through both, was of royal Mitannian blood.
Akhnaton was born in the beautiful Charuk palace, in Thebes, in or shortly after1395 B.C.,-(some scholars place his birth a few years later.)At the young age of 12, Akhnaton was crowned King of Egypt.
Akhnaton's Hymn to Aton also shows a remarkable scientific understanding of the Sun's role in the functioning of life on the planet as a whole.

Akhnaton sought to replace Egyptian polytheism with a monotheistic religion that honored the Life Force under the image of the solar disc pouring forth its life-giving rays.
Although Akhnaton's monotheism was as intolerant as the Biblical monotheism that Savitri despised, she was fascinated with Akhnaton's life and character and strongly attracted to his religion on philosophical, spiritual, and aesthetic grounds.
Indeed, she believed that Akhnaton's religion was essentially identical to the primordial Aryan religion of Life and Light, and she even suggested that Akhnaton's reforms might have been influenced by the Mitanni, an Aryan people who had settled in upper Mesopotamia.

 Study of a study of Velikovsky
Oedipus and Akhnaton Velikovsky's thesis is as follows: the historical source for the tale of Oedipus as related by Sophocles and other Greek mythographers is to be found in the events surrounding the reign of the Egyptian king Akhnaton, traditionally assigned to the 14th century BCE by Egyptologists.
The little that we know about Akhnaton, according to Velikovsky, closely approximates the mythical career of Oedipus; the more obscure circumstances attending the fall of Akhnaton and his family, in turn, can be illuminated by comparison with the tragedies which befell the family of Oedipus.
Rather, the truth of the matter appears to be that Akhnaton's erasure of Amenhotep's name was not directed at his father, but was an incidental by-product of the attempt to remove the name of Amen and other gods from public consciousness under the sweeping religious reforms initiated by Akhnaton.

As such, Akhnaton became, and still is, a site of struggle for those wishing to possess and profit by his image, including those fin-de-siècle archaeologists, who sought to fund their research by establishing themselves as authorities on the ‘real’ Akhnaton.
Akhnaton signified his rejection of Amon by erasing all record of the god’s name and by changing his own name from ‘Amon-hotep’ or ‘Amonophis’, meaning ‘Amon is content’, to ‘Ekh-en-Aton’ or ‘Akhenaton’, meaning ‘Spirit of the solar luminary’ or ‘Beneficent one of (or for) the Aten’ (Steindorff 59; Montserrat 21).
Akhnaton describes how the rising of the sun is celebrated as the first rays strike a raised altar on which a fire is perpetually burning: “The king mounted the pyramidal altar once more and threw a handful of incense into the fire.
