episode 7: Philomind - Akhenaten's Egyptian Revolution
A vibrant, changing Ancient Egypt is in this episode. Today we will talk about Akhenaten and the revolution that he launched with the movement of Atenism. In just under two decades on the throne, Akhenaten imposed new aspects of Egyptian religion, overhauled its royal artistic style, and moved Egypt's capital to a previously unoccupied site. His reign, often referred to as the Amarna revolution, was characterized by social, political, and religious upheaval, making him one of the most polarising figures in Egyptian history. Stay tuned and listen to this brief period on one of the most significant shifts in religion and philosophy of that time.
