The site of Amarna (commonly known as el-Amarna or incorrectly as Tel el-Amarna; see below) (Arabic: العمارنة al-‘amārnah) is located on the east bank of the Nile River in the modern Egyptian province of Minya, some 58 km (38 miles) south of the city of al-Minya, 312 km (194 miles) south of the Egyptian capital Cairo and 402 km (250 miles) north of Luxor. The site of Amarna includes several modern villages, chief of which are el-Till in the north and el-Hagg Qandil in the south. The area contains an extensive Egyptian archaeological site that represents the remains of the capital city newly–established and built by the Pharaoh Akhenaten of the late Eighteenth Dynasty (c. 1353 BC), and abandoned shortly afterwards. The name for the city employed by the ancient Egyptians is written as Akhetaten (or Akhetaton – transliterations vary) in English transliteration. Akhetaten means "Horizon of the Aten." The area was also occupied during later Roman and early Christian times, excavations to the south of the city have found several structures from this period. From Wikipedia under the

From Google News Search: "amarna" Do you agree or disagree with Akhenaten and the changes he brought during the Amarna period? Q. - he forced his mentality about worshiping only the Sun god upon his people. - demolished all references of other gods. Why do you agree or disagree ?? Asked by Melody - Sun Oct 26 20:37:58 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. Well, I think you're just trying to stir up controversy here, this being an election year. But to answer your question, no. I have always been loyal and pious to Amun, Ra, Horus, Osiris, and all the other gods. Mr. Akhenaten will anger the gods and cause us to suffer famines and stuff. Ancient Egypt is a country founded on Egyptian pagan principles. Where have our traditional Egyptian family values gone? Who knows--next, we'll be worshipping some weird barbarian god that we won't be allowed to even paint! So don't vote for Akhenaten!

How does art of the period reflect revolutionary ideas? Asked by carn157 - Fri Oct 6 17:23:22 2006 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. the "Amarna period" gets its name from a place now called Tell al Amarna. It was the site of the capital of Pharaoh Amenhotep IV, also known as Akhenaton. It is revolutionary in that Akhenaton tried to overthrow the tradition religion of Egypt and its structures, and to replace it with the monotheistic religion of Aton, the sun disk. Art of that period is less conventional and more realistic than most Egyptian production, more allegorical and symbolic too. Famous pieces include the bust head of Queen Nefertiti, kept in Berlin IIRC, and a stela where one sees the Sun sending its rays reaching down with little hands for an adoring Akhenaton.
