Here is the first of three short videos about king Akhenaten. This is the first video I have made - I've been fascinated by Ancient Egyptian history since the age of 7 and after writing much about it have decided to share my interest on Youtube. Akhenaten attempted to abolish the traditional religion of Egypt and replace with the worship of just a single deity. At a time when religion explained everything, it must have been quite a shock to the Egyptian people and quite a scary one too. I've tried my best to be accurate with my information and apologise if there are any mistakes and also for the possibly poor sound quality. The music is taken from the Sierra videogame 'Pharaoh'. Any comments or thoughts would be much appreciated. Thankyou for watching and enjoy!
