One of the most compelling and controversial figures in history, Akhenaten has captured the imagination like no other Egyptian pharaoh. Much has been written about this strange, persecuted figure whose freakish appearance - Wilkinson, 'The Complete Valley of the Kings'.Akhenaten sought to impose upon Egypt and its people the worship of a single god. This book argues that, far from the idealistic founder of a new faith, Akhenaten used religion for purely political ends in an attempt to reassert the authority of the king and concentrate power in his own hands.
