How Akhenaten Demolished Centuries of Egyptian Tradition

- When Akhenaten came to power, he recreated the religious universe by doing away with polytheism and insisting his subjects worship Aten, the sun god. He also gave himself, and his queen Nefertiti, a sacred promotion.
From the Series: Secrets: Nefertiti bit.ly/2P9gHao - Zábava
You said it - religion is power. One reason Akhenaten did away with the old gods is that it by doing so he cut back the power of the priests ....
True
Some Pharoahs were Nubian (darker skinned) and others were not. The fact is that Lower Egypt (the north) is right at the top of Africa. The darkest skinned Africans are from Central Africa.
Naturally their skin color doesn't really matter. They were all kings and I'm sure the ancients didn't question their power based on nothing more than skin color.
I wasn't speaking in absolutes, I was speaking in general. In general, the darkest skinned Africans are from the areas around Ethiopia, Niger, Chad and so forth. Not that their skin color really matters.
+ReturnoftheBrotha correct
Jeez, it seems we have a racist in the midst. Like I said - their skin color doesn't really matter.
@ReturnoftheBrotha North Africa is not darker go do your research
Egyptians where much like the people from the levant Brown
1:45 how I feel using my phone flashlight around the house
i was interested in this topic *until i read the comments -_-*
Interesting Factoid: TutAnkhAmun was originally named "TutAnkhAten".........look it up!
True
Absolutely Right. Were the Priests of Amen who changed his name from Tut-Ankh-Aten which means; The Living Image of Aten, to Tut-Ankh-Amen; The Living Image of Amen.
Where did you get your idea? Facebook? Twitter? CZcams? Wikipedia?
DUH !
@@invictustheshark8547 Studying simple like that.
Ancient Egyptian "queens" were referred to as female kings, since their language did not have a word for queen.
Also, Akhenaten lived during the late 8th dynasty, which at the time the word Pharaoh didn't exist either. The title only came into their culture during the 19th dynasty, so calling king's who lived earlier than the 19th dynasty Pharaohs is inaccurate and misleading.
the say Akhenaten was from the 18th Dynasty, alleged to be the Alien Pharaoh, he who Obama was likened to. Obama wanted to be the President of the World.
Wrong lol 18th dynasty
18th dynasty, not 8th. New Empire. How come the title of pharaoh was not used at that moment? When was it used, then?
They used the word Amun hutab or something like that not pharoah
Akhenaten was the son of Amenhotep the third in the 18th dynasty not the 8th and Nefertiti was his Queen they had 6 daughters Tutankhamen married one of them.
Akhenaten was also known as Amenhotep IV.

History is not as racist as everyone thinks. There were no literal borders and everyone lived everywhere. No wonder, Egypt was the center of the world for many. They didn’t care as much as we do now.
Need more logic? If the Nile is the only source of water, food and material far and wide, wouldn’t you live there too?
Diekje I know right many people lived there of all sorts of colors and races
arda rid of course there were. But you didn’t read well. They were not as literal as we know borders know.
If there were no borders then why did China build a wall on their border? 🤨🤨
Manocean to prevent attacks from up north. And it’s not a single wall, nor a border
No.. ancient Empires HAD borders like modern day.. kings would mark their territory by putting Garrison troops , forts or border marks like rivers or mountains
According to the latest genetic testing of mummies, ancient Egyptians were similar to populations from the Levant ( Israel, Jordan & Syria) with European admixture. Sub-Saharan genetic influence increased in Egypt over the last two thousand years due to trade and slavery.
I read it too lol
Israel looks fully whiteeee! Come on! They’re basically just European descendants unlike other Levantine countries (Palestinians, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon)!
John Smith boy if you think those Caucasian ass lookin arabs were Egyptians you trippin
Maybe european have genetics in common with ancient Egyptians not the other way around
Who is this population from levant? Israel was part of Africa until they built the Suez canal in the 1960s Where does the Europeans fit into this since the first were the Greeks? Africans were the dominat force and always have been not only in Africa, but in Asia,amd other parts of the world producing buildings in stone. Don't buy into racist ideology that tries box Africans to south of the Sahara. If you have travelled to African you will know its utter bull.

Hardly. There's art, statues and notably the Amarna Letters.
Yeah our culture focuses more on his wife and son then him 😂
I need to understand something, if akhenatens dad was king amenhotep III and mom queen Tiye, who were both of black race, that means akhenaten would be dark skinned, and he is the father of king tut, how then do they say king tut was like us Europeans??????
The Original Egypt was black until Alexander the Great Violently took over during his military campaigns from Macedonia.
@@covenawhite4855 🤣
@@covenawhite4855 How did it change? Alexander's entry into Egypt wasn't that violent, he ended Persian rule there, the Persian governors and armies left. The Egyptians actually called him a liberator. The Greek Ptolemies who ruled Egypt after Alexander were always a minority in Egypt, never a majority....they just lived there and ruled, they didn't mix with the common people. So if Egypt were majority black when the Ptolemies began their reign, where did they go? Who are the people who live in Egypt today? The Ptolemies certainly didn't bring in an entirely new population?

@Lord Voldemort light doesn't have a skin colour
The fact remains that there is a LOT we don't know about the ancient world. What we do know is that the Egyptian empire at it's height was a mixture of peoples who came from many places. Kings sent their daughters to the pharaohs from every kingdom the Egyptians did business with. Some were black. Some were not. Personally, I look forward to the day when people cease to be divided by race and manipulated by their leaders but I fear that is a long way off yet.
Back thn it wasn't about race.. Thts why they didn't have these problms we have today.

Inside of ancient religions you will find much more truth science related philosophies than your local church will ever reveal to you
@@giannarosize AGREED. i don't trust my local church. i look at them as pimps in the pulpit. I LOVE LEARNING ABOUT ANCIENT IDEAS.
Aten is more accurately rendered Atun, directly analogous to the Hebrew Adon. In both languages the name is translated LORD.
AKHENATEN was dedicated to the worship of the god he called the LORD. Ultimately, Sun worship is connected with the Egyptian god Ra. At some point in his spiritual formation, AKHENATEN conflated Egyptian Sun worship with the worship of the ATUN or ADON.....most likely deriving from the monotheistic worship of a historical Egyptian predesesor, JOSEPH (of Israel). It is likely that for him the observable Sun-disk in the sky was an iconic image, of the LORD - ADON - ATUN. He obviously had a revelatory experience in his spiritual development and became firmly devoted to the worship of this one god. He was as close to true monotheism as you could get at that time.
Interesting. May I get some references for this? I’m currently studying this
@@mariesoto569 Hello Marie.
I've always been curious about Akhenaten's monotheism. He has been called the "first monotheist".
But, modern scholars have said NOT. I have come to believe that there is a direct connection between Israelite monotheism and Akhenaten's religion. The details have yet to be fully fleshed out, possibly because of historical biases. Two works that come at it from different directions........
1) Moses and Monotheism by Sigmund Freud
2) Moses and Akhenaten by Ahmed Osman
It's like a big jigsaw puzzle with many pieces......the truth is in there somewhere. They both present some fascinating ideas.
No its aten which is derived from sun disc, adon may or not be an derriviation of that, not the other way
@@mariesoto569 Akhenaten is High priest of Ra Heru Khuti.
This is the same God that made his grandfather, Thutmoses iv King of Egypt. Read the Dream Stele.
The key to the mystery system of the Aten is its not the Sun.
Ra is Heru Khuti. Hence his name is Ra Heru Khuti.
Heru Khuti is the secret name of Ra.
Heru Khuti is Mars
When you read the Great Hymn to the Aten its dedicated to Ra Heru Khuti.
Mars
While the Hebrew language was created by the Irish Hebers,and can be read using Irish Gaelic. Hebrew being an Irish word meaning fellowship.
He was a Monotheistic King!
The idea that people(Afrocentric) believe that Queen Nefertiti was a dark skinny black women is absolutely absurd I think the ancient pharaohs of Egypt would have looked more like the people of the modern day Egyptians we see today meaning she was not white or black
R U really a black man ?!?!?! i cant believe there's a 1 black man could claim such a thing
@@AssemAhmad wait a minute what????😭😭😭

I would like to know more about king tut,if he's akhenaten son he should be portraits of him everywhere because he is the 1st son and heir but there isnt much of nothing or atbleasted documented for us to see
why does association with Akhenaten mean portraits everywhere? Akhenaten isn't a very popular person.
Birch because Akhenaten has statues everywhere and if tut really restored power to the old way of Egypt I would believe he would have Statues everywhere
What’s funny is how they were saying how this effected Egyptian tradition when in fact, this was the birth of monotheism; the ONE GOD belief. They didn’t say how the rest of the world worshiped multiple gods....like “Zeus”, Chronos, Hates, East Asia’s Bilal and other gods I care not to mention. All this before Akhenaton and his one god belief. Maybe because knowing this leads the trail to the birth of Christianity and Islam. All you gotta do is read the story of the Hyksos tribe into Egypt.
akhnatun ne hzrat yusuf ke waqt m amun ki parashtish ko khtm krke islam ar asmani khuda ALLAH pe iman laya tha..yakin na ho toh youtube ki series hazrat yusuf in hindi dekh skte h
From the beginning Egypt has believed in one god, the cults of other gods were important because they were all aspects of the one god…Akhenaten was a power hungry politician who wanted it for himself and the Greek did the same as well as the Roman
Aten was worshiped before Akhenaten as a aspect of the sun god Ra
Akhenaten played a power game with the Amun priesthood and he wanted to bring the sun god back to primary importance. He was also afraid of the Amun priesthood having to much political power so he said only he and his family can directly receive the blessings. Amunhotep III, Akhenatens father, was devoted to the Aten but also very polytheistic.
Correct your words its not the Sun God it is the GOD which we all believe now even Christianity and Islam
Aten was a formless, invisible, all encompassing god. The sun symbol was just a visual guide to the readers.
Isn't there a quiet but prevailing theory that the 1920s Nefertiti bust was made in 1920 & because it was "found" while press/important people where there they couldn't laugh it off as a prank/reconstruction. Something with how the bust was made & the missing eye among other things?
I wouldn't be suprised
The Aten was a minor deity of Egypt before ankhenaten ‘grandmother queen Ay brought him to the fore.
faultroy Or maybe they, you know, read a book? Maybe you should try that, too.
Was it queen Ay or Ty
@@wtripley Queen T was Ankenaten mother Tut grandmother...Ay was a Priest then became a Pharaoh after Tut death

Right. Liked the clip, as far as it went. Like many things in life, this story has a more "real" side than one might expect. The King wanted all the political power and the funds (bushels of wheat for that historical then and there) for himself and his family. That would have been the affect. Imagine that, a money stealing power hungry politician, ain't no such thing, right? :)

Nefertiti was Mitanni/Hurrian and they did belief it in the sun.
What is the name of actor that portrays nefereti?
DNA taken from ancient Egyptians from the Third Intermediate period right to the Roman era, shows ancient Egyptians were more Middle Eastern and less Sub-Saharan than modern Egyptians. The true Egyptian descendants, the COPTS, carry MTDNA which entered North Africa 30 000 years ago, meaning they have lived in Egypt since 30 000 years ago, just like some Berbers who also carry MTDNA U6 from their ancient Cro-Magnon ancestor. So even with different nations conquering Egypt, ancient Egyptians are modern Egyptians! The majority of Egyptians were reddish brown, similar to modern Arabs. But the same culture extended into Kush (modern north Sudan), only with smaller, pointier pyramids, and the people who had it in Sudan were black. The Kushites at one point conquered and ruled Egypt, then went back home and took the culture home with them. So it’s a fair bet that there would have been some exchange of personnel, and that there would have been some black people living in Egypt and Egyptians living in Kush.
Mohamed Mo most Egyptians are converted Copts because Arabs were not many people at the time they spread the religion and culture and the rest does itself they learn our language and started to associate themselves as Arabs and thus the Arab race grew to include Copts berbers Persians Babylonians Hebrews etc etc
Xavier Washington It is very obvious the middle east, east and west africa were very connected. There is no two ways about it.
Alexander the Great they look like modern Egyptians there’s no difference
Alexander the Great it's also interesting to know there are a lot of Indians with popping melanin. Almost as dark as the black man himself does that not raise questions to the assimilation of mixing and how it is spread over time. The white men are always in denial, always trying to cover the truth about history. Nefertiti does not look white, neither does she look Arab but a clear description and features of an Ethiopian, Somalian, Eritriean, anyway basically an east African. It's not rocket science.

So what we have here (and this is only based on what I've learned from this part of Ancient Egyptian History at this period & my understanding isn't as extensive as others who are more learned) is a man who either had an epiphany or just wanted to seize ultimate power and make others drink the cool-aid. Yes Akhenaton may have founded the first monotheist religion. But one is left to ponder did this religion and its tenants of faith bare all the hallmarkings of a cult ( by the way we understand how cults come about and operate these days)? ☮️
The only reason he added Aten was for the people to worship him (Akhenaten) so he had more power because people worshiped Aten through the current pharaoh.
Akhenaten believed in one God: Allah. He never asked anyone to worship himself
I can see something similar happening in our near future...
People awakening to their own divinity and aware of their own power....
Orrrrr.. vise versa....
Was he the king to try and take the seat of the soul? That is, if he truly said that he was the one source between God and man.
Actually neither Akhenaten or Nefertiti were regarded as gods or a gods king and queen in their own right. Akhenaten acted more like Aten's high priest unlike the pharaohs of old.

Dude Augustus there was a Nubian dynasty in Egypt that is academically accepted not to mention that the ancient Ethiopians known then as the “Aksumites” conquered ancient Egypt at around 500 BC and allowed the continuation of Nubian Pyramids in the Sudanese city of Meroe
If the father of one God Akhenaten was the man behind the idea of monotheism clashed by his own son Tutankhamun I think that in future the idea of Ibrahim will also face the same fate
lol that's my name but mines is spelled akhenaton [ah-ken-tin]
Hahaha no matter what race you are, we are all slaves of the monetary system
For me I think that when Akhenaten Lord of the Sun God Aten Ra, son of the Sun maried her sister wife with one eye of a sign of a Moon God Amun Ra was indeed meaningful because when they met during the eclipse of the Sun and the Moon they produced a prince Tutankhamun belongs to the Moon God Amun Ra because in my Buganda culture or tradition a son of a King always belongs to a woman who depends on a Moon circle to get pregnant, therefore was the reason why the young Tutankhamun had to worship a Moon God Amun Ra which confused the Egyptians who trusted his father Akhenaten's idea of one God Aten Ra whom the Muslims also got the name Allah because Abraham or Ibrahim had the same idea of one God but likewise also the Muslims depends on the Moon to praise Allah or Ra because the Sun and the Moon are responsible for creating man or Adam
Akhenaten did not worship a sun god or a moon god. The god he advocated was unseen, "the hidden one" the source of all power. This god did not have a physical representation.
Akhenaten is remembered because he was the first pope of the Egypt

Dr. Sayyed, i watched the prophet joseph movie supporting your point but could not found any literature evidence nor wikipedia or other material.
Do u have any literature/history book referrence for me that " Hazrat yusuf and King akhtaten were in same era"?
Joseph was significantly earlier; he is not hinted at nor referred to in anything written during Akhenaton’s time, which is filled with many writings like the hundreds of amarna letters; it is more likely that Moses and Aaron would have been contemporaries of Akhenaton and are likely to have been an influence in the focusing on one active and true God followed by a period when the army was clearly missing, and also the gold was missing (just as it says in Exodus chapter 12, actually, as well as in most of the Amarna Letters)
King Atenakhen was most probably a messenger of Allah.

No, Amun ans Aten are two entirely different Gods. Amun is one of the earliest and most worshiped Gods in the ancient Egyptian society. The Aten was the solor disc, at first a minor aspect of Ra, then transformed into a singular God.
Amun was originally a wind god that became associated with the sun thanks to Heliopolis, which believed Ra (a sun god) was the supreme god. They decided that all the other 'supreme gods' that the Egyptians worshiped (it wasn't exactly a well organized or unified religion) were just alternate versions of Ra, thus why you see names like Amun-ra, Sobek-ra, sometimes Aten-ra, etc... Aten himself was a personification of the sun itself. Aten worship was abandoned after the death of Akhenaten, whose failed reform forever tainted the Aten's reputation in ancient Egypt. I don't think Aten was that popular before hand anyway, since people saw him (it?) as too different from humans for them to comprehend, unlike all the other gods.
Akhnaken is moses, moses is a title as the nameless one, as his father the pharoah kicked him out of the kingdom and erased his name everywhere it was carved
Fact!
My profile pic is an actual depiction of Ankhenatens father. Who are these people?

faultroy That bust is thought to be fraud. It doesn’t resemble other Ancient Egyptian sculptures as well.
Pan-Eurasian Marxist-Leninist What other monuments/sculptures does this bust resemble?
Pan-Eurasian Marxist-Leninist I thought you said it’s other sculptures that resemble this one? 🤥
Btw, Smithsonian posted a video about it possibly being a forgery, that’s a very common practice with museums.
@@spo666tty Haha you're people live by the sword you're the best criminals in reality...
Tyree Murdaugh it’s “your” sweetie. If you’re going to hate on white people using a language they invented at least learn it properly.
Don't get the hype about people trying to claim Egypt ....... it's just another third world country ......it had a strong past .....but that's about it.
Egypts not third world
Why say such. So being a third world country makes it a bad country. You just look like you are hating. Why is it that when people praise third world countries people like you get upset.
+ orlahmidae There's is no hate at all ...... a guy I know.... we work for the same company, he lives there, he always say I should visit there sometime and don't worry about the terrorist hype you see in the media ...... my thing is people are always thinking Black Americans are trying to claim Egypt .....when in reality it's a very small misinformed minority
