Akhenaten must have truly valued his wife to bestow her with such an honor with his full confidence in her ability to help him manage the reforms he wished to initiate.

Idolatry of gods and reliefs…

innovations and techniques emerged from Akhenaten’s projects; structures - especially at Akhetaten - began to be made with ‘talatat’, small blocks which made it easier to construct buildings within a shorter time span than the traditional large sandstone slabs used. The new central city, as Dunn (2015) pointedly identifies, was atypical also due to its carefully planned, programmatic layout and isolated location. However, as with Akhenaten’s religion, most infrastructure built during his reign…

staff and his sword leads to the symbolic significance of these items within the context of Brom’s past life, his seemingly dull existence in Carvahall, and his brief return to glory as he travels with Eragon. “They laid Brom inside the unfinished sandstone vault with his staff and sword” (Paolini, Eragon 276). The sword represents his days of glory before he came to Carvahall and the toil he underwent to get there. The staff holds true to the fact that he would lie dormant for a time, as a…

Uma did not get Shiva’s attention at first, and instead of continuing down the fruitless path she was on, she then decided to live just as ascetic life as he.…
