Akhenaten at Amarna
“Egypt, c. 1345 BCE. Pharaoh Akhenaten and Nefertiti raise their hands toward the solar disk of Aten over the new capital. Foreground shows offering tables piled with lotus and bread; midground reveals open-walled temples flooded with light, scribes recording the new religion in fresh hieroglyphs; the Nile gleams behind sandstone cliffs streaked with afternoon shadow.”
