Here is a striking portrait of Akhenaten, monotheistic worshiper of the sun and best known Egyptian king next to Tutankhamen. Various writers have depicted this strange ruler of the fourteenth century B.C. as a disguised woman or a eunuch, a mentor of Moses, or a forerunner of Christ. Drawing on a vast amount of new evidence from his own excavations, the Director of the Akhenaten Temple project describes the kingly heretic against the background of imperial Egypt.
