But before Akhenaten came to the throne, about 1380 B.C. possibly twenty years before that event the great catastrophe which brought the Minoan Empire of Knossos to a close had already happened.
I thought the last time we were together I was Aten and you were Akhenaten, or was it the other way around?" "I've made you Athena this time. You have a body and garments that I would ascribe as being Ancient Greek and godessesque. So, what is it?" "So haughty and so cold. And I am your higher authority! You can freeze people even in the most innocuous situations, Gabriele.
In the Introduction Professor Petrie gives a harrowing account of the casual way in which the tablets were found and of the criminal carelessness with which these priceless records were subsequently handled. His appreciation of the character of Akhenaten differs considerably from that formed by the author of the present pamphlet, and should be compared with it.
Those of his officials who had accepted “the doctrine” were regarded by Akhenaten as deserving men, and on this ground alone, Ai, called Haya in the Amarna letters, received golden honours to the full. This Haya, who was entitled “beloved royal scribe,” was probably a secretary of state, and was once sent as a special ambassador to Babylonia.
Seated beside her friend, Gabriele incrementally shaped a harder replica of her from the mold of the subject and the plaster of the dampened sand. In part it no longer looked like Hilda but an effigy of Akhenaten. "So, what about me don't I take responsibility for? What is the source of this anxiety for my sake?" "How am I to tell if you suffocate me?"
The twenty-six years of Amenhotep II.'s reign, and the almost nine of Tahutmes IV., bring us to the accession of Amenhotep III. in 1414, and the thirty-six years of the latter take us to 1379 B.C. or thereby, when the heretic Akhenaten, whose reign was to witness the downfall of the Egyptian Empire in Syria, ascended the throne.
The art of the reign of Akhenaten is characterized by the somewhat sudden outburst of a naturalistic style almost entirely foreign to the Egyptian tradition; and, as Mr.
The inevitable crisis was met with no new measures by his son, the famous Akhenaten, and before the middle of the fourteenth century the foreign empire of Egypt had crumbled to nothing but a sphere of influence in southernmost Palestine, having lasted, for better or worse, something less than two hundred years.
All this notwithstanding, still the stream of rhetorical devotion flowed on in the letters. Akhenaten had taken with him to the new capital part of the archives of his father. With few exceptions, it is not from the letters of vassals that we learn this, for these, as a rule, are addressed simply “To the King.” The foreign sovereigns, however, almost always addressed the Pharaoh by his prenomen.
