"The Gods had turned their backs on this land" - Tutankhamun's Restoration Edict

In part two of our series, we delve into the downfall of Akhenaten, The Heretic King.

As Akhenaten's religious reforms shake the very foundations of his kingdom, the Pharaoh lashes out at his citizens, closing temples and destroying statues of traditional Gods.

Isolated and alone, Akhenaten's actions become increasingly bizarre as he embarks on an incestuous relationship with two of his daughters and ostracizes his allies.

We explore Akhenaten's downfall, the role Nefertiti played, and the mysteries surrounding Smenkhkare, his successor.

Finally, we follow the footsteps of Tutankhamun as he scrubs his father's reforms from history and erases any record of his rule.

Join us as we unravel the tensions, complexities, and enduring legacy of history's first "individual," whose personality oozes through the dusty passages of time.
