The Amarna period gave us Akhenaten, Tutankamun, Egyptian monotheism (arguably!) and a whole lot of drama! Annelise Baer joins Megan to talk about her favourite period on history.
I do hope that with every new discovery and excavation, new tablets shed more light on everything we've been clamouring for and illuminate the bigger picture.
I hope one day the real name "Messer" to be used instead of the Greek given name "Egypt". It's mentioned in Amarna letters and in Bible too as a historical document and the name is being used till now except in European languages.
10:08 Was that portrait originally painted and, if so, do we know what the colours were? If Akhenaten had scoliosis, wouldn't this be discernible in his vertebrae? And if his body was actually the shape usually shown, that's not normal. Did they completely sequence his DNA? I'd greatly appreciate any links to genetic/molecular biology articles. Cheers! {:o:O:}

Wonderful discussion! I so appreciate all the education I get from this channel. ❤️
A very interesting and informative talk. Thanks to you both.
(great colors Megan)
Get well soon!

We would love full disclosure. If you could show a tablet and translate it.
Here you are! It's old, but it's translation in action: czcams.com/video/BsCo3jrEbZY/video.html

It's the Spanish word for soap opera
