Description

Akhenaten (the Heretic King) has turned the religious order of Egypt on its head, having forsaken all other gods in the name of Aten, the faceless sun deity.

He has declared himself to be the living incarnate of god on earth and Nefertiti, his female counterpart. But was Nefertiti truly a goddess in her own right?  Or was she simply being used by her power-hungry husband.

Here we explore the later years of their reign, the triumphs and tragedies, and the mysterious end to this once forgotten queen.
