Akhenaten Painted limestone The Amarna Period: latter half of the Eighteenth Dynasty
Akhenaten Painted limestone The Amarna Period: latter half of the Eighteenth Dynasty when the royal residence of the pharaoh and his queen was shifted to Akhenaten ( Horizon of the Aten ) in what is now modern-day Amarna. It was marked by the reign of Amenhotep IV, who changed his name to Akhenaten (1353-1336 BC) in order to reflect the dramatic change of Egypts polytheistic religion into one where a sun-god Aten was solely worshipped

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient Egyptian history - the Akhenaten Painted limestone from the Amarna Period. Dating back to the latter half of the Eighteenth Dynasty, this artwork represents a pivotal moment in Egypt's religious and royal landscape. During this period, Pharaoh Amenhotep IV made a dramatic change by shifting his residence to Akhenaten, known as Horizon of the Aten. In an unprecedented move, he changed his name to Akhenaten and transformed Egypt's polytheistic religion into one centered solely around worshipping the sun-god Aten. The painted limestone captures the essence of this transformative era. It serves as a visual testament to Akhenaten's reign and his devotion to Aten. The intricate details on this artifact reflect both artistic excellence and religious significance. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to witness the profound changes that took place during Ancient Egypt's Eighteenth Dynasty. We can almost feel the weight of history as we contemplate how these shifts impacted not only religion but also politics and society at large. This print is more than just an image; it is a window into an extraordinary chapter in human civilization. It reminds us of our shared past and invites us to delve deeper into understanding one of humanity's most intriguing civilizations - Ancient Egypt.
