# Akhnaton, King of Egypt

An audiobook by Dmitry Merezhkovsky, read by LibriVox volunteers (10 h 2 min, English).

This novel presents a fascinatingly detailed and well-researched yet imaginative exploration of the ancient Egyptian death culture during the turbulent reign of Akhnaton. Born Amenhotep IV, meaning "Amun is satisfied", this pharaoh adopted the name "Akhenaten" while abandoning the traditional, polytheistic Egyptian religion in favor of an absolutely monotheistic one based upon the worship of Aten. He was succeeded by Tutankhamun who restored the traditional, ancient religion of Egypt. - Summary by Brian Fullen
