Akhenaten

Akhenaten: A Historian's View examines what scholars have said over the years regarding key aspects of Akhenaten and his times ('the Amarna Period'), to produce a 'history of histories,' exploring exactly how various chains of arguments were arrived at-and how houses of cards thus erected have subsequently come tumbling down. In particular, it teases out ideas based on solid documentation from those based on theory and fancy, and tracks ways in which new evidence became available, how it was interpreted, and how it fed-or didn't-into the big picture.
