	The Amarna Period of King Akhenaten in Egypt
		The Amarna Period in Egyptian history is a spectacular time filled with mystery, regardless of the massive research and analysis of Egyptologists and layman enthusiasts.
		The primary reason that most sources begin the Amarna period with the latter part of Amenhotep III's reign is probably due to the fact that this was the period when Akhenaten, originally Amenhotep (IV), rose to crown prince and was subjected to the influences that would eventually cause him to attempt to altar Egyptian religion.
		However, like Akhenaten's religion, after the Amarna period this method was abandoned, perhaps because if was found that the smaller blocks needed a great deal for plaster finishing to close the gaps between individual stones, and therefore the reliefs inscribed on these walls could not withstand the test of time.

	Amarna - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The name "Amarna" itself comes from the name of a tribe of nomads, the Beni Amran, who left the Eastern Desert in the 18th century to settle on the banks of the Nile along this stretch.
		The Amarna art-style is unique among the Egyptian world for its more realistic depiction of its subjects, instead of the strict idealistic formalism universal in Egyptian art up until that point, as well as for depicting many informal scenes such as the royal family playing with their children.
		Although the worship of Aten (often referred to as the Amarna heresy) was completely suppressed, the artistic legacy had a more lasting impact.

	Akhenaten religion Aten
		The Amarna period is one of the most exciting in the history of Ancient Egypt.
		This is a subject which is very much "à la mode" and several works appear regularly on Akhenaten and Nefertiti, of variable quality and which, unfortunately, often reflect the dreams of their authors rather than the reality of the documentation, and that when they are not completely desecrated by soap or other advertisements.
		This idea of movement recurs, as we shall see, in the relationship of the king with his god and, notably, in the high presentation of offerings (fig 27).We also see it in scenes of the royal family’s private life and, for example, in the ribbons fluttering in the wind to represent the divine breath.

	Atenism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Year 5 is believed to mark the beginning of Amenhotep IV's construction of a new capital, Akhetaten (Horizon of the Aten), at the site known today as Amarna.
		Evidence of this appears on three of the boundary stelae used to mark the boundaries of this new capital.
		Crucial evidence about the latter stages of Akhenaten's reign was furnished by discovery of the so-called Amarna Letters.

	Amenhotep IV
		The Amarna Interlude, as it is often called, saw the removal of the seat of government to a short-lived new capital city, Akhetaten (modern el-Amarna), the introduction of a new art style, and the elevation of the cult of the sun disc, the Aten, to pre-eminent status in Egyptian religion.
		It is evident from the art of the Amarna period that the court officially emulated the king's unusual physical characteristics.
		Nefertiti was buried in the royal tomb at Amarna, judging by the evidence of a fragment of an alabaster ushabti figure bearing her cartouche found there in the early 1930s.

		He was succeeded by Smenkhkare, who ruled for about three years, possibly a portion of that time as coregent, and who continued the Amarna heresy during his reign.
		This completes the Amarna and post-Amarna portion of the Eighteenth Dynasty, and if we add up the lengths of all the associated Josephus reigns we have a grand total of 58 years and 7 months.
		This is consistent with an inscription from the reign of Ramesses II, which gave Horemheb a reign of 59 years in order to subsume all the kings associated with the Amarna heresy—Akhenaten, Smenkhkare, Tutankhamen, and Aye—under Horemheb’s reign.

	The Sirius Mystery and Legacy of Akhenaten - Black People - Destee
		Archives containing Akhenaten's political correspondence, known as the Amarna tablets were not taken away, and they have provided a great deal of insight into the reigns of both Akhenaten and his father Amenhotep III.
		The Amarna tablets have generally been used to depict Akhenaten as apathetic toward the Egyptian empire, and preoccupied exclusively with religious reforms at home.
		Closer scrutiny of the Amarna letters, e.g., EA 256 from Mutbaal discussed in the introduction, indicates that he knew the proponents of the Habiru personally, and was either condoning their actions, or simply unwilling to suppress them.

		At one period, images of female ageing were actually adopted by the most prestigious women in the land, the queen and the queen mother.
		It seems that the Amarna queens' empowering initiative to establish a strongly marked image of female ageing, parallel to male images of wisdom and success, was not taken up later to any great degree (Arnold 1996:124-6).
		Like other ways of depicting adventurous Amarna queens - smiting enemies, driving in chariots, offerings sacrifices in their own right – I suspect it was probably considered too characteristic of the Amarna heresy and later women preferred not to be associated with it.

		However, because of the heresy of the Amarna kings, the cartouches and much other evidence within KV 55 were mostly destroyed.
		Smenkhkare and Merytaten are pictured in the tomb of Meryre ii at Amarna, and were once shown on a relief at Memphis.
		It is likely that Smenkhkare tired of the religious heresy of Akhenaten's reign, and late in his life, possibly moved to Memphis, the old secular capital of Egypt.
