This video will be about the Pharaoh Akhenaten and his peculiar life. Over 3000 years ago this strange King began a revolution, demolishing centuries of the traditional ancient Egyptian religion. He turned his back on the Gods of Egypt, but his new religion resulted in extreme hostility from the people and after his death his successors tried to erase his existence from History. Let’s delve into what we know about him.

  • According to some theories, the original founders of the Egyptian religion already knew the entire history of the Egyptian civilization from day 1. Each Pharaoh had a specific and important role to play in the unfolding of the sacred timeline. Each successive period of their history would reformat or restructure the specific elements of the religious worldview, to bring it in line with the plan laid out by the founders. The founders knew that after so many years and iterations of the philosophy, that the ideas would become distorted, and that human nature would bring corruption into the mix, so, at a certain point in their journey, a Great Pharaoh would have the most difficult of tasks to reset the spiritual ideas that had grown over-bloated and distorted. It fell upon Akhenaten to perform this Herculean task. He set about introducing a novel concept into the Religion of a Unity, which had always been an underlying, but hidden concept in the philosophy, and he erased many stories and faces which were corrupted and distorted, to change the perspective and give clarity to the overall philosophy. The intent was not to replace the other ideas, but to reset them into a more pure form, and to introduce this monotheistic idea into the collective consciousness of the people. The city wasn't meant to last, and that is why he used the smaller building blocks, to facilitate it's eventual deconstruction. And the religion was meant to go back to the quasi-polytheistic form after the reset, though the ideas were meant to be cleansed by the process. Pharaoh Akhenaten was like Internal Affairs coming down and investigating a corrupt police precinct, of course all the dirty cops are going to revile them, but they are doing the work for the betterment of the people, not to be universally loved. He also introduced the concept of realism into their art. There is no way that every single Pharaoh before him was possessed of a perfect god-like physique, but they were portrayed in that way in the art by convention. Akhenaten refused to be shown in an idealized form, and made his artists picture him as he actually looked, pot-belly and all. His Queen Nefertiti also oversaw a revolution in basic human rights and the arts. They are unsung heroes of world culture.

    Akhenaten is his self-proclaimed title as son of the Aten. His oiginal title was Amenhotep IV. Akhenaten's physical appearance of long gangly upper limbs , long loose fingers, spaced out eyes , and drooping abdomen, suggests a physically unfit person who could not sustain exercise, probably due to easy fatigue, due to vascular problems, also found in congenital connective tissue disorders , either MARFANS SYNDROME or LOEYS-DIETZ SYNDROME. Egyptian Pharoahs were offspring of incestous marriages , brother -sister marriages usually to maintain political and spiritual power within the ruling dynasty. Even his successor, the legendary boy-king, King Tut suffered congenital spinal defects.

    Makes me want to go to Egypt one day, I'm fascinated about Egyptian history since I watched The Prince of Egypt!

    I knew a black guy that looked exactly like this back when I was in the army. He was a nice guy and had the charisma that made everybody like him. He really tall, about 7-foot or better.
  • @costrio
    It is also possible that this pharaoh’s appearance might have been due to inbreeding, which is what created the “Hapsburg Jaw,” I’ve read.
  • Lord Akhenaten - a very highly spiritual being; he embodied himself in a body ( he is not an Alien) and his consciousness is way ahead of ours; he is or was a servant of Henoch - he (the original Akhenaten) was not married - Nefertiti is just a symbol - to have a wife, a son etc. are always symbols for something in the spiritual life. Lord Akhenaten was teaching the old wisdom teaching. He teached the inner self or the inner god, which is the symbol for "God Ra".
  • Really liked this video, I have been to Egypt and visited many sites, always thought Akehenaton to be a very Interesting Pharaoh

    Extremely interesting. I knew about the abandoned city but not so much other than that. One of the more nteresting videos you have created yet!
  • @csj9619
    Wow! Totally mind-blowing, futuristic special effects. I felt as if I was there!
  • Really interesting video. Thank you for all the work, you have started me on a journey of discovery, of this enigma that is Akhenaten. Peace be unto you.
  • Akhenaten, was a very generous King in his new city he would give to the common people and they all had jobs in arts and crafts and music and all kinds of beautiful things. there warrant any wars in the time that he was raining, there was no hunger or poverty among his people and the only people that warrant making money were the priestess and priests that used to make a lot of money with all the business of death and many other things like wars and all the different gods. That's why he was being hated on and why they tried to destroyed his memory, but it didn't work since we're talking about him. Professor Carmen Voltaire has been studying him for many years now!!

    Born as Amenhotep IV, son of Amenhotep III and younger brother of Tutmoses, he assented the throne as regent with his father (as his brother Tutmoses had died). He married Nefertiti. After about 5-7 years of his reign (possibly when his father had died) he changed his name to Akhenaten, following his monotheistic religion of Aten. Nefertiti became regent alongside him. He was hated and despised for his religion changes. He was eventually ousted as Pharoh and banished after 17 years. Temporary leaders took over until Akhenaten & Nefertiti's son was old enough to take power (Tutenkhamun). Akhenaten returned to Egypt about 25 years later but found he was still unpopular and hated. He gathered together thousands of his followers of his monotheistic religion (many of whom were Hebrew) and he left Egypt for good .... So as not to be recognised or connected etc. he took on the name of his late brother, Tutmoses ..... The Great Exodus ...I have done much research on this and researched the parallels and similarities of both this and Hebrew culture and stories of the time .... its amazing how so much is the same ....
