Amarna

“Even God could not sink her,” it was bragged. The Titanic was the fastest and the biggest ship in the world. It was also considered to be the most beautiful and unsinkable. Then on April 14, 1912, occurred the most remarkable ship catastrophe of the historical 100 years. The Titanic, on her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York, collided with an iceberg and sank with a loss of 1500 people. The Titanic’s captain, Captain Edward J. Smith, played a bewildering role in this catastrophe.…

people think that in the fifth year of his reign, Akhenaten had a vision. What he got out of it was that he had to change the religion of Egypt. He started to practice monotheism, the worship of one god, and worshiped Aten. This time was known as the Amarna period. Historians really aren’t sure of the exact dates of his reign. It was either from 1335-1336 B.C. or 1351-1334 B.C. As you can see, the reign of Akhenaten was very interesting. The death of Akhenaten is a sort of mystery, but only in…

1349-1332 BCE. The Pharaoh rejected the variety of icons set up by his trailblazers and declared the love of one preeminent god, Aton. He changed his name to Akhenaton (hireling of Aton) and established another capital city, Akhetaton, close current Amarna. Quill demonstrates that this improving suspicion which may have enlivened a widespread confidence, got to be part into the adversary groups of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The love of Aton just stayed predominant in Egypt until the…

I believe that the Hebrew Exodus happened the way the Bible told it. There is archeological evidence and especially textual evidence. The people and archeologist who say there was no Exodus weren’t basing their claims on evidence, but the fact that they didn’t find much. Finding and digging up artifacts from that time period is a very hard task. So just because they haven’t found any doesn’t mean it’s not out there. Some people say that for the two million Hebrews to have this march from…

lot of temples. The second capital is Thebes. Thebes and Memphis rivalled each other for being the greatest and biggest city. The third capital is Alexandria, which was the capital after Alexander the great captured Egypt. The fourth capital is Amarna. Amarna was the city where the pharaohs created their own religion, but the city died after the pharaoh died. The fifth capital is Hermopolis. This was the city between the upper and lower Egypt and a place of religion, the first sunrise was over…

Amenhotep III’s reign was his peaceful and diplomatic foreign policy. In stark contrast from both previous and successive pharaohs, Amenhotep III’s foreign policy centred not on waging war, but instead on careful diplomacy. As evidenced through the Amarna Letters, of particular importance was the manner in which Amenhotep III played a noteworthy…

Ancient Egyptian culture and art has fascinated many people throughout history. From the great pyramids to the Ramesseum, Egyptian art has affected the world and has coaxed people into studying it as a full time job. What people know today about Egypt is primarily from artifacts, tomb paintings, and monuments. From this historians have deducted that Egyptian history is divided into three parts: the Old Kingdom, Middle Kingdom, and the New Kingdom. It is well known that throughout these periods…

Ruth Ruth is a book of the Bible that is about redemption and love through the actions of a foreigner remaining loyal to her mother-in-law. Naomi basically thought there was no future left for her and she thought God had left her. After losing her husband Elimelech and her sons Mahlon and Chilion, all she had left were her daughter-in-law’s, Orpah and Ruth. Since Orpah decided to go back to her family, Ruth remained with her mother-in-law. The book of Ruth doesn’t name who the author is but…

Introduction Often there is the presumption that Science and Christianity are at loggerheads with each other over every particular. At certain times in history and in certain matters this may be partially true but in at least one area, Christianity and science are pretty much in lockstep with each other. That area is in the transmitting of the printed Word of God. For millennia mankind has used any material available to write on. This has ranged from common, ordinary stone to hand sized…

of date Egyptians' lives. As it was fundamental to them, they were bound by tradition and unwilling to change. The recorded setting of old Egyptian religion is built up in Egypt's old circumstances and it continued for quite a while. Aside from the Amarna Period (when King Akhenaten practiced monotheism), the old Egyptians believed in polytheism, or various perfect…
