Akhenaten

originally meant as a sculptor’s model for his students, which is why one eye is missing-to demonstrate the sculpting of the eye socket. Little is known about Nefertiti, but her legacy of beauty and power as she ruled besides her husband pharaoh Akhenaten during the ancient kingdom of Amrana, continue to intrigue scholars today. Her name is Egyptian and means "the beautiful one has come." And because this remarkable sculpture is still in existence, it is no wonder why Nefertiti remains 'The Most…

pharaoh in the history of Egypt was not famous because he was the best or most powerful king. King Tutankhamun was so famous for two reasons. The first reason was because of his extreme youth when he became pharaoh. He was only six when his father, Akhenaten had died and he earned the title of the Boy King.

As mentioned prior, the artifacts that were either from or reflective of the Amarna Period were probably a way to connect himself better to his father, his true…

Pharaoh Akhenaten was a controversial ruler, too uninvolved with public interest to be popular among his subjects. Whether it be forcing new ideas upon the people or his complete disregard for their safety and well-being, Akhenaten’s approval rating was so low that the pharaoh was all but erased from history by his successors.
