  2. Amarna succession - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amarna_succession

    The succession of kings at the end of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Ancient Egypt is a matter of great debate and confusion. There are very few contemporary records that can be relied upon, due to the nature of the Amarna Period and the reign of Akhenaten and his successors and possible co-regents.

  3. Akhenaten - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akhenaten

    Akhenaten died after seventeen years of rule and was initially buried in a tomb in the Royal Wadi east of Akhetaten. The order to construct the tomb and to bury the pharaoh there was commemorated on one of the boundary stela delineating the capital's borders: "Let a tomb be made for me in the eastern mountain [of Akhetaten]. Let my burial be ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Tomb_of_Akhenaten

    Since Akhenaten's death, many of the walls have been damaged by environmental factors, like flooding, and vandalism. [31] Evidence of vandalism, during ancient times, can be seen in Pillared Hall E, where Akhenaten was likely originally laid to rest. [25] In 1934, a feud between guards led to the vandalism of rooms alpha and gamma. [32]

    The story follows the timeline from her time in Thebes to Amarna and after Akhenaten's death. Nefertiti was the Chief wife in Akhenaten's court or haram. Though she is well known by name, as many historical female role models, her story is often overlooked for masculine rulers.

  6. Amarna Period - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amarna_Period

    The Amarna Period was an era of Egyptian history during the later half of the Eighteenth Dynasty when the royal residence of the pharaoh and his queen shifted from the old capital of Thebes (Waset) to Akhetaten (literally 'Horizon of the Aten') in what is now modern Amarna.

  7. Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eighteenth_Dynasty_of_Egypt

    After his death, Akhenaten was succeeded by two short-lived pharaohs, Smenkhkare and Neferneferuaten, of which little is known. In 1334 Akhenaten's son, Tutankhaten, ascended to the throne: shortly after, he restored Egyptian polytheist cult and subsequently changed his name in Tutankhamun, in honor to the Egyptian god Amun. [9]

  8. Atenism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atenism

    Smenkhkare died after a short reign, eventually leaving Neferneferuaten as the acting regent of Egypt. [18] Though Akhenaten's last years saw possibly the most aggressive repression of Amun and, less likely, other gods, his death quickly resulted in the resurgence of the old cults.

  9. Neferneferuaten - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neferneferuaten

    However, since Smenkhkare disappears from the political scene late in Akhenaten's reign and Neferneferuaten instead appears, the most likely explanation is that Smenkhkare--who is attested in an unfinished durbar scene from the Tomb of Meryre II (TA2) at Amarna dated to Year 12 of Akhenaten--must have died perhaps 1 or 2 years after since this ...
