Book Recommendation – “Egypt’s False Prophet: Akhenaten”

Egypt’s False Prophet: Akhenaten

I find Akhenaten π“‡‹π“π“ˆ–π“‡³π“…œπ“π“ˆ– to be such an interesting Pharaoh! “Egypt’s False Prophet: Akhenaten” is definitely a book 𓅓𓍑𓏏𓏛 I recommend – it shows how the early 18th Dynasty was a β€œset up” for the AmarnaΒ π“ˆŒπ“π“‰π“‡‹π“π“ˆ–π“Š–Β period (the book actually talks about Hatshepsut 𓇳𓁦𓂓 quite a lot).Β 

The book 𓅓𓍑𓏏𓏛 also goes into detail about the excavation of the city π“Š–π“Ί of AmarnaΒ π“ˆŒπ“π“‰π“‡‹π“π“ˆ–π“Š–, what occurred during Akhenaten’s π“‡‹π“π“ˆ–π“‡³π“…œπ“π“ˆ– reign π“‹Ύ, and then the fallout of Akhenaten’s π“‡‹π“π“ˆ–π“‡³π“…œπ“π“ˆ– rule after his death 𓅓𓏏𓏱.Β 

My Nonno gave this book 𓅓𓍑𓏏𓏛 to me forever ago when I first started getting interested in the Amarna π“ˆŒπ“π“‰π“‡‹π“π“ˆ–π“Š– period and I’ve read it a bunch of times but I still find it to be so interesting! 

Hieroglyph Fact: the word I’m using for β€œbook π“…“π“‘π“π“›β€œ in this post actually translates to β€œpapyrus” or β€œpapyrus roll” – there is no word for β€œbook” in Middle Egyptian, so this is the closest translation I could come up with!
