Akhenaten and Egyptian Monotheism

Описание к видео Akhenaten and Egyptian Monotheism

The story of the Pharaoh that introduced the worship of one God before the time of Israel.

Fourteen hundred years before Christ, the Pharaoh Amenhotep IV rejected the old gods of Egypt and introduced the worship of one God above all: Atun. Although he was able to promulgate a new henotheist (possibly even monotheist) religion during his lifetime, after his death the traditionalists won out, reversed his reforms, and deleted his name from the king lists. We'll look at this remarkably early innovation and its echoes in later monotheistic religion.
