Akhenaten in the News

Our man Akhenaten – remember – tyrant or visionary? – is in the news a lot lately.

Read this interesting article on archaeological excavations at Amarna, Akhenaten’s capital, suggesting that child labour was used to build the new city.

Here are some other interesting Akhenaten links:

The Lost City of Akhenaten (CNRNews – 3D models of buildings in the city)

Meet King Tut’s Father, Egypt’s First Revolutionary (National Geographic – amazing photos, including the one below of a skull with preserved hair)

When are people going to stop referring to him as Tut’s father? Tut should be Akhenaten’s son!
