One of the most enigmatic pharaohs of ancient Egypt is the so-called "heretic king," Akhenaten, who ruled over Egypt in the 18th dynasty during the New Kingdom. In this episode, David and Natalie explore the ruins of this king's capital city, Akhetaten, the "Horizon of Aten," located in central Egypt in Amarna. They will show you everything from the royal tomb to the tombs of the nobles to the Small Aten Temple.
Thank you for watching this episode of the #antiquitiestravelguide. We hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it.

I wish my wife were alive to see this tour of Egypt you have taken us on. She, like I, loved history, but even more so ancient Egyptian history. Yes, I find it fascinating, but she would've loved watching these. Due to her vision, these bright Egyptian days would've been impossible for her, but she would've loved to have seen them in person.

Thanks for going to these lesser-visited sites. I plan to visit Egypt for 2-ish weeks at some point in my life but it's unlikely I'll ever make it to Amarna, the Fayum, Tanis, or these other places you're visiting, they're just too out of the way compared to Cairo/Luxor/Aswan. And given that the typical travel channels don't visit them, your videos are one of the only way I ever will.

It's amazing just how detailed some of these inscriptions are. It's so tragic that they've degraded so much, it's so difficult to imagine just how breathtaking they would have been in their original condition, plus all the areas that were painted, looking so vibrant. It's like the Roman sculptures, we are accustomed to seeing them in their degraded state, but they were also vibrant and colorful originally; it's difficult to picture just how much more impressive all the ancient buildings and sculptures must have been.

Professor is popping off with these uploads! I’m loving it! I became fascinated by Akhenaten after reading the book The Rise and Fall of Ancient Egypt, there was a whole section devoted to him in it. He was very interesting, not just for his unorthodox views and religious beliefs or motivations, but also his relationships with his famous wife, in which he delegated certain responsibilities and power to, that is if I’m remembering that correctly. It’s been a few years since I’ve reread it.

@kellaa88 8 месяцев назад

Great vid, loved every second of it and Natalie is very cool too. 😎 I find the subject of Akhenaten so fascinating and have been educating myself on it for quite some time now. But, one thing I just can not wrap my head around is that they tried so hard to wipe him out of history by destroying Akhetaten, defacing his art and erasing his name from historical accounts however, you can still clearly depict him, the Aten, his family, carvings and hieroglyphs in the tombs and on what is left on the site. It almost looks sloppy how they tried to erase him from wall art, like some crumbs were left behind on purpose. Could you maybe share what your thoughts are on as to why they did not 100%, completely erase him? Thanks man, keep it coming!!

@walterulasinksi7031 9 месяцев назад

While there were a few of the royal burials at Amarna, once the site was abandoned the priests of Amun, moved these burials to the Valley if the Kings and Queens. And then into the caches of Royals when tomb robbing increased.

@walterulasinksi7031 9 месяцев назад

You are correct in thinking that there were multiple reasons for relocating a Capital city away from Thebes . It is considered that Akhenaten’ father Amenhotep III had built the golden city of Aten ( on the outskirts of Thebes. And recently unearthed).this would have bern an ostentatious display of wealth and power to the priests of Amun in the nearby Karnak temple. It is not kniwn who built the temple of Aten in Thebes,although Akhenaten is attributed to this construction as the type of construction stone blocks sizes are similar to those used at Amarna. Many of those stones were found as having been recycled as infill into new walls in the Karnak temple complex. With the opening if the mouth ceremony in Tutankhamen’s tomb, showing Aye performing the service and proclaiming himself as King, Aye is wearing the leopard skin robes of a priest of Amun. In this video you visited many unfinished tombs. Remember that even then the people for whom these tombs were carved, had to pay for such work and when Akhenaten died, and the capitol was moved back to Thebes, they lost all that money on useless construction. As to wether Akhenaten was motivated by religion or as a political move against the growing wealth snd power of the Priests of Amun, this is uncertain. His actions could be seen as similar to those of Henry VIII in setting himself up as the head of the religion as a political move ,since Akhenaten closed down the Temple of Karnak and created division in the populace, who were used to polytheistic worshiping.

@tkgsingsct 9 месяцев назад

When the wall carvings as in the princess's tomb are preserved, how is it done? I see a lot of blank patches of plaster (?), does that mean the carvings were recovered from the floor and restored to the walls, or something similar?

@WorldofAntiquity 9 месяцев назад

In some cases, yes, but other times, the wall just has holes in it, and the patches are put there to hold it together and prevent more from falling off.

@varyolla435 9 месяцев назад

Remember that these tombs were cut from limestone and limestone is porous and not especially "hard". So depending upon the location of the tomb moisture from rainfall over the millennia might get inside to damage the plastered walls causing them to flake off in sections. Also periodic earthquakes can also undermine the tomb structure as well causing weakened sections to fracture or even collapse. So in some cases as noted where original artwork etc. can be reused and restored it might be done. Consider Hatshepsut's destroyed mortuary temple which has been painstakingly put back together since the 1960's. Damaged statues/columns were reused where possible while new ones were carved to replace destroyed ones where there are gaps. So sights open to tourism must of course be made safe for such access. Unadorned corridors might see some repair work to shore them up and "smooth over" damaged spots - much as was done with say the Great Pyramid. Look at old photos of Khufu's burial chamber pre-1990. See holes in the floor/walls and rubble strewn about where individuals over the millennia dug holes looking for hidden chambers. In the early 1990's it underwent a restoration project to make it safe for tourism and today everything is clean and the walls/floor have been repaired. So these tombs are restored and original artwork is preserved where possible and access is made safer for tourists via repair work to the corridors/rooms and adding new floors etc..

It might be a stabilizing agent added to preserve the wall murals. The ancient Egyptians however did employ several types of plasters to include a "mud plaster" as you alluded to.

@Xorgrim 9 месяцев назад

I watched a documentary a few days ago that explained that Akhenaten's father on his 30 year throne anniversary declared himself and his main wife gods. More specifically, he declared that the Aten, which was considered the disc of the sun and therefore the real-life representation of the sun god Ra would be a deity itself. (To be clear, according to the film, the Aten had previously not been considered a deity at all. I haven't checked the validity of that claim). So He declared himself as the Aten. Pharaohs traditionally were considered to become Osiris after their death. But that he declared himself a deity in his lifetime apparently was new. (Which I don't quite understand, because I thought the living pharaoh would be considered to be Horus) Anyway, what I am getting at is that I had always thought that Akhenaten declaring himself being the son of the Aten would have metaphorical meaning. But if his father had declared himself the Aten, then Akhenaten's religion would be literally worshipping the deceased Amunhotep III. I find that idea fascinating and a much different take on the so-called first monotheistic religion than I had been exposed to previously. Dr. Miano, is that an accurate interpretation in your mind? Or did the documentary take too many liberties with the facts?

We sat on the tarmac, in the middle of the farthest, most isolated, unused runway, awaiting repairs... I could just barely see the pyramids of Giza off in the distance... There we sat... for hours... in the sweltering heat with the plane doors open, not a hint of a breeze. The airport officials eventually sent us bread, butter, oranges & lukewarm bottled water. (If the plane is not running, the bathrooms & A/C doesn't work...) Not a good memory. Our presence there was not documented because we weren't allowed to leave the plane. So we didn't even have a passport stamp to commemorate our brief presence there. 😢

@faithlesshound5621 9 месяцев назад

He tried to do the same thing that the Pharaoh Khufu did when he looted the temples and diverted resources to building his Great Pyramid, or King Henry VIII when he looted the churches, abbeys and hospitals of England. Henry had crucifixes taken down from churches and courts and replaced by his royal coat of arms. All of these monotheistic megalomaniacs put themselves at the top of a slimmed-down mythology, the effect of which was to grab power and wealth for themselves while pretending to be religious reformers. For Khufu and Akhnaten, the reform did not last. For Henry, the centralised dictatorship of the monarch ended with Charles I's beheading, but the change of religion endured.

I knew his father had been laying some groundwork, and I thought it might have been a far reaching plan to purge perceived weaknesses and make the whole bronze age social order more resilient for the future.

Breakfast...Akhenaton did what he was sent here to do. 1.restore the ONENESS of God. 2. get rid of all those man-made gods that were being practice in Egypt/KEMET. and 3. let the world KNOW God is a Photon. the supreme LIGHT.

Interesting revolutionary moment in history to usurp a pantheism by promoting an aspect of a god to a monotheistic entity. Kind of a metaphysical dilemma? Loving these travel videos!

As historic tour for the students need to provide authentic story, which is not present here. The real story is: Akhen Atun is the king who reformed religion from polytheism to monotheism. That time Egyptians worship to Amun. The king Amenhotep IV (Akhen Atun after reform) saw dreams two nights but nobody can explain the dream except Prophet Joseph(Yusuf peace be upon him), he was a prisoner in Gavia (still exist)close to capital .one of the worker of king knew him when he was in jail told that I will collect the explanation of dreams. Then he went jail and prophet Joseph explained the dream that seven year huge crops will produce and next 7 years will no crops will produce because of drought. The the king accepted Joshef as his agricultural minister and then chief minister and advisor. As a prophet always followed one god and he invited king Amenhotep to accept oneness of god and he accepted that. Then he changed his name Akhen Atun creator of son, one of the nickname of God. Finally he changed religion from polytheism to monotheism. Joshef (pbuh) father was Jacob (pbuh) his other name is Israel. Because of 7 years drought needed to preserve crop and that is why lord give him the architectural knowledge how to build the building to protect crops for 7 year. Finally all Israeli people that time Prophet Jacob and his other 10 sons and their entire families migrated from Kenan to Egypt. This story mentions in wholly book the Quran chapter named Yusuf. You will gain solid knowledge if you watch the movie Yusuf Julekha, based on that chapter. I am sure you will be master on Amarna period and about Akhen Atun.

Do we know if Akhenaten actually had that strange shaped face and swollen stomach? I recall from my teens back before time began, reading thoughts of various doctors on whether or not this was stylisation or he had x, y or z syndrome.

How does the sun god aten relate to the sun god ra? 🤔

@nataliegreen5489 9 месяцев назад

IIRC, Ra was the dude with the bird head and Aten was the actual sun rays/ sun disk

@varyolla435 9 месяцев назад

Ra was the head of an Egyptian pantheon of Gods. Aten represented a belief system which only allowed for monotheistic worship. So in embracing the Aten alone = Akhenaten was rejecting worship in all the rest of the Egyptian Gods.

@terrorbirds9835 8 месяцев назад

@@varyolla435 ok, but before the monotheistic aten worship he must have had a place in the pantheon of gods, right? So two sun gods, that’s pretty unusual for ancient cultures afaik unless it’s a regional thing….🤔

Interesting. Elongated skulls (Turmschädel) were a strange fashion. I have found evidence of skull elongation in Egypt, among the African Mangbetu in the Congo, in southern Germany Bavaria, Austria, modern-day Turkey, in South America in Peru and in Central America in Mexico among the Olmecs. But in your opinion as we know the peoples had no contact... P.S.: No wonder the princess died prematurely. I have seen the sculptures of her head. The skull was totally deformed. Extremely extended. Boards were tied around the infant's head for this effect. Very unhealthy.
