Description
He tried to change the heavens. So they erased him from the earth. The story of the first individual. Egypt has many pharaohs, but only one tried to kill the gods. "The Forgotten Pharaoh" tells the story of Akhenaten, the heretic king who banned the old pantheon to worship a single god, the Sun Disk. It was the first monotheism in history, a radical revolution that turned an empire upside down.But after his death, the empire struck back. His temples were dismantled, his city abandoned to the desert, and his name chiseled off every monument. The priests tried to erase him from time itself. For 3000 years, they succeeded.We reconstruct the life of this enigmatic figure. Was he a visionary prophet or a mad tyrant? What was the role of his famous wife, Nefertiti? And how does his legacy connect to the biblical Moses? A gripping historical detective story about memory, religion, and the attempt to rewrite the past.
