  • Akhenaten and Moses
    Story 27 A k h e n a t e n . and MOSES !? Aten is a creator of the universe in ancient Egyptian mythology, usually regarded as a sun god represented by the sun's disk. His worship (Atenism) was instituted as the basis for the mostly monotheistic — in fact, monistic — religion of Amenhotep IV, who took the name Akhenaten. The worship of Aten ceased shortly after Akhenaten's death; while Nefertiti was knifed to death by the Amun priesthood! Fig. 1. Pharaoh Akhenaten, his beloved Queen Nefer- titi, and family adoring the Aten, their Sun God; second from the left is Tutankhamen who was the son of Akhenaten. The relief dated 1350BC of the sun disk of Aten is a lime stone slab, with traces of the draufts- man’s grid still on it, found in the Royal Tomb of Amarna, the ill-fated capital of the founder of mono- theism long before Moses claimed it for Judaism. Aten was the focus of Akhenaten's religion, but viewing Aten as Akhena- ten's god is a simplification. Aten is the name given to represent the solar disc. The term Aten was used to designate a disc, and since the sun was a disc, it gradually became associated with solar deities. Aten expresses indirectly the life-giving force of light. The full title of Akhenaten's god was The Rahorus who rejoices in the horizon, in his/her Name of the Light which is seen in the sun disc. (This is the title of the god as it appears on the numerous stelae which were placed to mark the boundaries of Akhenaten's new capital at Amarna, or "Akhetaten.").

  • The Religious Reforms of Akhenaten and the Cult of the Aten
    The Pharaoh’s Sun-Disc : The Religious Reforms of Akhenaten and the Cult of the Aten The 18th Dynasty Pharaoh Akhenaten, known to many as the “Heretic King,” made significant changes to the religious institutions of Ancient Egypt during his reign in the 14th century BCE. The traditional view long maintained that these reforms, focused on the promotion of a single solar god known as the Aten, constituted an early form of monotheism foreshadowing the rise of Western Biblical tradition. However, this simplification ignores the earlier henotheistic tendency of Egyptian polytheism and the role of Atenism in strengthening the Pharaoh’s authority in the face of the powerful Amun-Ra priesthood, as well as distinctions between the monotheism of Moses and Akhenaten’s cult. Instead, the religion of Akhenaten, which developed from earlier ideas surrounding the solar deity motif, can be seen as an instance of monotheistic practice in form but not in function, characterized by a lack of conviction outside the new capital of Akhetaten as well as an ultimate goal of establishing not one god but one ruling power in Egypt: the Pharaoh. This will become clear through an analysis of the background to Akhenaten’s reign, the nature of his reforms and possible motivations, and the reality of Atenism vis-à-vis later Biblical monotheism. The “revolution” of Akhenaten, born Amunhotep IV,1 evidently had significant implications both during and after his reign. The radical nature of his reforms is clearly visible in the later elimination of his name and those of his immediate successors from the official list of rulers.2 However, it is possible to see the roots of these changes, and perhaps of the Pharaoh’s motivations, in earlier developments in the importance and form 1 Greek Amunhopis IV.

Available online at: http://www.ila-net.org/Publications/Proceedings/2003/lrowland.pdf - 1 - Introduction This paper presents an ancient international leader who used sacred texts to effect cultural change in all the major social institutions of ancient Egypt. The purpose of this paper is to help shape the future of leadership by presenting a form new to traditional leadership studies: that of an ancient Egyptian leader. This new face, Amenhotep IV, later known as Akhenaten, who founded a new place, Akhetaten, provided a new context for our study of international leadership. Guiding Questions Who was Akhenaten? What was the context of the times in which Akhenaten lived? What was Akhenaten’s religious heresy? What are sacred texts? What do they teach? How did Akhenaten use sacred texts to change Egyptian culture? What can researchers, practitioners, and educators learn from a study of Akhenaten? Methodology I conducted a cross-disciplinary literature review from anthropology, history, Egyptology, religion and spirituality, political science, social psychology, psychohistory, and leadership studies on the subject of Akhenaten and the Amarna Period of Ancient Egypt. I also reviewed the literature to understand the concept of “sacred texts” both in Egyptian culture and Western culture and consulted books of ancient literature to uncover the “sacred texts” of Egypt that would have conceivably been known to a Pharaoh during the 14th century B.C.E., after 1500 years of the written record – for example, the Instructions of Ptah-Hotep from around 2300 B.C.E.

The result was an Egyptian-Levantine koine, often not recognized as relevant by historians due to an uncritical reproduction of ancient myths of separation. However, the cultural exchange triggered by migration is attested in the language, in the iconography of the region, in the history of the alphabet, in literary motifs, in the characterization of central characters of the Hebrew Bible and, last but not least, in the rise of new religions, which integrated the experience of otherness in a new ethos.

Kloska orcid.org/0000-0003-4822-8891 Wydział Historii, Uniwersytet im. A. Mickiewicza ul. Uniwersytetu Poznańskiego 7, 61-614 Poznań [email protected] ABSTRACT: During the reign of the Amarna spouses, giving gold necklaces to royal officials took place (almost always) from the so-called Window of Appearance. From them, Akhenaten and Nefertiti, often with princesses, honoured deserved and devoted dignitaries. The popularity of the Window of Appearance closely relates to the introduction of a new religious system introduced by Akhenaten and Nefertiti. Ac- cording to the new religion, Akhenaten and Nefertiti were a pair of divine twins like Shu and Tefnut, who in the Heliopolitan theology, were the children of the god Atum – replaced by Aten in Amarna. The royal couple prayed to the main solar god, while their subjects prayed to the king and queen. Since Akhenaten per- formed the role of a priest through whom ordinary people could pray to the god, it was necessary to create a construction that would allow the king to meet with his subjects publicly. The Window of Appearance was such architectural innovation. It was crucial because the king was an intermediator between the peo- ple and the only right sun god, Aten. The Windows of Appearance were probably located in various places in Akhetaten, including the Great Palace, the King’s House, the North Palace, the Small Aten Temple and in the temples of the Sunshades of Re in the Kom el-Nana and Maru-Aten.

  • Reconstruction of Ancient Conceptual Landscapes in the Nile Valley
    Reconstruction of ancient conceptual landscapes in the Nile Valley Giulio Magli Faculty of Civil Architecture, Politecnico di Milano. Piazza Leonardo da Vinci 32, 20133 Milan, Italy. E-Mail: [email protected] Abstract: Conceptual landscapes in Egypt show a remarkable continuity – for as long as 2000 years – in the use of symbols and in the interplay between natural and man-built features. Directionality, both in the sense of succession of elements and of orientation of single buildings and tombs, plays a key role in governing the landscape in accordance with the idea of “cosmic” order, which was the basis of the temporal power of the pharaoh. Comparing satellite image with local surveys and using simple web-based instruments for tracing visibility lines helps in understanding connections and messages which were meant to be clear and obvious in ancient times but may be lost, or forgotten, today. In particular, the prominent role of astronomical and topographical alignments in the planning of successive monuments comes out at sites like Abydos, Giza, Dahshur and at Western Thebes. The way in which the same symbols and elements were elaborated by the “heretic” pharaoh Akhenaten in planning the landscape of his capital at Amarna is also highlighted. Keywords: Ancient Egypt, Ancient Landscapes, Web-based Archaeo-topography 1. Introduction Archaeoastronomy, the science exploring the relationship of ancient architecture with the sky, is a relatively new discipline. It started from the pioneering efforts of Gerald Hawkins and Alexander Thom in the sixties of the last century. These authors were the first to put in evidence in a systematic way the possible relevance of astronomical alignments in the interpretation of ancient sites.

He is especially noted for abandoning traditional Egyptian polytheism and introducing worship centered on the Aten, which is sometimes described as monotheistic. An early inscription likens him to the sun as compared to stars, and later official language avoids calling the Aten a god, giving the solar deity a status above mere gods. He was all but lost from history until the discovery, in the 19th century, of Amarna, the site of Akhetaten, the city he built for the Aten. The artistic style associated with his reign, which departed radically from convention in its use of curvilinear and elongated form, is known as the Amarna style. Statue of Akhenaton in the Amarna style In some cases, representations are more naturalistic, especially in depictions of animals and plants, of commoners, and in a sense of action and movement—for both nonroyal and royal people. However, depictions of members of the court, especially members of the royal family, are extremely stylized, with elongated heads, protruding stomachs, heavy hips, thin arms and legs, and exaggerated facial features.

    3 Staff DIRECTOR: Paul Schweitzer MANAGER: Nathan Stoikopoulos MODERATOR: Auj Hamayun ANALYSTS: Arielle Mantes, Avel Ivanov, Ailin Li 4 A Letter From Your Director... Dear delegates, My name is Paul, and I’ll be your director for this council. Also working with me are Nathan; our crisis manager, Auj; our moderator, and Ailin, Arielle, and Avel, who are crisis analysts. We’re all very excited to meet you! This is my second year working at UTMUN. Last year, I worked as the moderator for the Hannibalic War Crisis Committee, as well as the midnight crisis council. I also ran MUN conference for my school in my last year of high school. I acted as a delegate throughout that year as well. My experience has shown me how much I love setting up and planning crisis committees. I love coming up with crises, thinking of mechanics, and most of all, seeing what delegates (that’s you!) do with councils that I had a part in planning. It may be a lot of work, but we as a staff do it for a reason! But enough about me. This council is about you, the delegates. It is an opportunity to do what you all love to do while learning about a period of time that not many know too much about. And this isn’t lecture style learning, you get to act the character that you’ve researched. You get to act as them and take history on a different course of action. Maybe your figure is now a power-hungry murderer? That happens! Isn’t the best learning done where you get to usurp and undermine your peers? Think about it.
