Akhenaton or Echnaton was one of the most intriguing personalities in the history of ancient Egypt. He opposed the traditional Egyptian polytheism and introduced the cult of Aton. That was one of the first historically-registered efforts to establish monotheism in the world. His wife Nefertiti was known as one of the most beautiful queens of Egypt, and his close successor was the famous pharaoh Tutankhamen. This book tells about the family of Akhenaton, the religion of Egypt, the birth and the first days of his life, and the main events and activities of his life, like building new cities and the introduction of the new religions and wars.
