	The Amarna Letters
		The Amarna letters, a unique corpus of documents from the Egyptian New Kingdom, were discovered in the late 1880s by Egyptian peasants (Moran 1992: xiii).
		As soon as their authenticity was confirmed and Egyptologists were able to evaluate their contents, it became clear that the stash of clay tablets represented one of the most important historical sources on the socio-political environment of the ancient Near East.
		The Amarna letters represent the diplomatic correspondence between the pharaohs of the Amarna period and their contemporaries in Canaan, Mesopotamia, Anatolia and the Aegean.

		The most basic element of an Aten temple is the altar, to which a ramp or stairway ascends from the west in the middle of the court, surrounded by a temenos wall.

	MYTH*ING LINKS / AFRICA: Egypt: Amarna
		Amarna, or more formally, Tell El-Amarna, is the Arab name for the virgin site in the desert north of Thebes where Pharaoh Akhenaton built his pristine royal city, Akhet-aton, "Horizon-of-Aton." It lasted only a few years before being destroyed by those loyal to the old gods of Egypt.
		Her general Amarna links, also expanded (and including solid sites as well as more questionable ones, such as those with ties to Moses, Oedipus, the Brotherhood of Light, reincarnated royals living today, etc), are nicely annotated with an occasional flash of tongue-in-cheek wit.
		He is the most famous person of the Amarna period, and yet he accomplished the least, which is why I have left him until last.

	EL-AMARNA and AKHETATEN
		The site of Amarna (commonly known as el-Amarna) is located on the east bank of the Nile River in the modern Egyptian province of al-Minya, some 58 km (38 miles) south of the city of al-Minya, 312 km (194 miles) south of the Egyptian capital Cairo and 402 km (250 miles) north of Luxor.
		The site of Amarna includes several modern villages, chief of which are el-Till in the north and el-Hagg Qandil in the south.
		Other leading figures of the Amarna period, both royal and otherwise, are also shown with some of these features, suggesting a possible religious connotation, especially as some sources suggest that private representations of Akhenaten, as opposed to official art, show him as quite normal.

	The Amarna Tablets
		These letters were sent to the Egyptian Pharaohs Amenophis III and his son Akhenaten around the middle of the 14th century B.C. The correspondents were kings of Babylonia, Assyria, Hatti and Mitanni, minor kings and rulers of the Near East at that time, and vassals of the Egyptian Empire.
		The Amarna letters from Canaan have proved to be the most important source for the study of the Canaanite dialects in the pre-Israelite period.
		A century after the discovery of the Amarna tablets and 80 years after their classical publication by Knudtzon, William L. Moran of Harvard University published new translations of the Amarna letters, first in French (Moran 1987), then in English (Moran 1992).
