Akhenaten's Radical Transformation of Ancient Egypt: A Harrowing Legacy. #Egypt #Ancient #Akhenate..

Akhenaten fundamentally altered Egypt.
The Egyptians worshipped several gods before Akhenaten came to power, but he alone left Aten, the sun deity, standing.
It required a great deal of labor and represented a significant change in Egypt's political system.
He worked his people literally to death. In fact, he worked them to death.
In homage to his god, he constructed the entire city of Amarna.

More than two-thirds of his employees suffered a broken bone at work, and about one-third of them suffered a broken spine, according to the bones in the municipal cemetery.
There was hardly enough food for the populace.
The majority of the town's residents were undernourished, and they were unable to address the issue.
They were to be brutally stabbed if they broke rank and attempted to take a little extra.Furthermore, it was all in vain.
All of Akhenaten's accomplishments were destroyed at his death.
The history of Egypt was wiped clean of his name.
