Egypt in the Age of Akhenaten and Tutankhamun

About this subject

The Amarna Age in Egypt was a time of great change and upheaval; it is best known for the religious reforms of Amenhotep III / Akhenaten, who attempted to replace a long-established polytheistic theology with a monotheistic one. It was also a time when Egypt's position in the Near East was under challenge from a resurgent Hittite kingdom. The interpretation of the history of the period is controversial with diverse points of view. This subject examines central historical issues of the Amana Age (from the reign of Amenhotep III to Tutankhamun). Students will evaluate the modern scholarship of the period through analysing and interpreting the relevant written sources (royal and non-royal) in translation against the background of the archaeological record, art and architecture.
