Akhenaten: "I live for my God To the veneration of Amun associated with the tradition and the omnipotence of the priests of Amun, in which he was brought up, but which he rejects, Akhenaten is going to oppose another one, that of Aten, of whom he will make an ideal God. The clergy of Amun feels humiliated. On its side, the people swore to be faithful to the memory of their Amonian ancestors. The war of religions begins. Murders, deportations, prisons, suicides and madness become the only outcomes of an insoluble conflict. And when love gets involved, things become even more complicated. Will Akhenaten give in to the popular demands? Will he abandon Aten, the Sun-God, of whom he is the incarnation? Will a new rupture take place, this time between the people and the king? Here we are in the heart of a tragedy of passions. It is also the story of the legitimacy of faith in human society.Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
