Not a page-turner to provide the reader with a clear understanding of the magnitude of his goal of shifting society's Amon-centric culture & religion to a singular monotheistic cult of the Aten. ( ) Amonhtep seeks to lessen Amon and his priest power and pays a high price. His son Ankenaten grow to hate Amon and love Aton. In the book Akhenaten starts out as a handsome child, then becomes the disfigured man of his portraits. As he grows and changes he becomes more and more strange. He also becomes obsessed with the Aton. The book ends shortly after he becomes the sole Pharaoh, when he has declared Aton the sole god of Egypt and moved his city. I knew the Pharaohs married their sisters, but in this book they also marry their daughters. Somehow that idea really disturbed me. A well researched book but not nearly as well written as the classic "The Egyptian" nor as entertaining as some of the non-fiction books that cover this era. The first book "Birth of a God" is a very slow read and very confusing. It took me until the end of that book (or chapter) to realize that each chapter title would tell me the POV of that section. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
