The historical novel, Akhenaten: Dweller in Truth by Egyptian author, Naguib Mahfouz, takes place in ancient Egypt during the time when Akhenaten holds the throne.

that continue to hold a place in the history book even today. None are as famous as Queen Nefertiti, whom is still in her tomb hidden from the world, and Pharaoh Hatshepsut, the female pharaoh, to whom has had her art destroyed.

art. For example, here Akhenaten is represented both masculine and feminine. The relief of Akhenaten demonstrates him with elongated face, thick lips, larger hips and thighs, detailed toes and figures, sunken belly and narrow shoulders.
