Family resemblance? Akhenaten on the right and a reconstruction of Tutankhamun on the left. Akhenaten is a fascinating figure, a reformer who attempted to swing his people to monotheism and away from a corrupt and powerful priesthood. He died prematurely and his reforms dissipated after his death.

From the Great Hymn to Aten, attributed to Akhenaten:

"...How manifold are thy works,
They are hidden from before us
O Sole God, whose powers no other possesseth.
Thou didst create the earth according to thy heart
While thou wast alone
Man, all cattle, large and small
All that are upon the earth
That go about on their feet
All That are on high
That fly with their wings
The foreign countries, Syria and Kush,
The land of Egypt
Thou settest every man into his place
Thou suppliest their necessities "
