Akenaton. El faraón olvidado

Akenatón ha ejercido una atracción irresistible entre los amantes de lo egipcio debido al misterio que rodea su obra y su muerte, y mientras más se estudia sobre él, más son los enigmas que se acumulan: Fue el primer monoteísta de la historia?, Podría vinculársele con el surgimiento del judaísmo en Egipto?, Por qué su existencia y su doctrina fueron sumergidas en un olvido de tres mil años?. Fue un iluminado humanista o un déspota sangriento?. En este libro, el autor da luz sobre las interrogantes que giran alrededor de este personaje y plantea nuevas y sorprendentes teorías que lo dejan ver como un digno antecesor de Moisés, Jesús y Mahoma.
Akhenaten was an ancient Egyptian pharaoh who reigned about 3,500 years ago. He made some major, but rather short-lived changes to various aspects of ancient Egyptian culture, the most notable one being his religious revolution. Akhenaten's strange appearance and mysterious behavior have made him the subject of much passion and controversy in the last century or so. Akhenaten is all things to all people--to some he was a fanatical lunatic, to some he comes across as a strange, eccentric young man whose behavior was strongly influenced by his mother, to others he was a Christ-like visionary and a mentor of Moses, and to still others he was simply someone who happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time and who really had nothing to do with the dramatic reformations that went on during his reign. This book suggests some theories and possibilities about who really was this controversial pharaoh.
