@Thoth B3Interesting that you have that belief about Akenaten. I understand that he was the first to have presetned the idea of the 'one God' and his refusal to continue with the Amun religion. Do you believe this is what caused the up roar and are you of the view that his monolithic faith came about well before the Jews Christians and Islam. Jesus was probably just as much a tyrrant!!PeaceFem'

Please don't mistake my tone for taking shots at you, but I would encourage you to read unbiased (or at least diverse) archaeological literature on Akhenaten and the Amarna era. I find it quite disrespectful when Whites, Arabs, and especially Africans claim that Akhenaten introduced the concept of "one God" to Egypt. Egypt and mostly all Africans already knew there was one God, but Whites and Arabs simply could not understand that (or didn't want to). They falsely interpreted the word ntrw as "gods", where ntrw means "the divine aspects of the One Supreme Being (God) joined in all of its members". The Egyptians believed that there could be no name for the entity we now acknowledge as "God", for it is limiting in itself. God was always denoted as "The One Supreme Being joined in all its members (divine aspects)".

If you look at the excavations of Amarna, Akhenaten had to rule with his army as presented in the tombs of many of the nobles...the first of any Pharaoh which reminds me of tyrant dictators today in the Middle East and Africa. He forcefully closed all the temples ofother ntrw except his favorite ntr, the Aten. Further examination of Amarna archaeology tells us that when he was succeeded on the throne by his son TwtAnkhAmen (King Tut), Tut had to carry the name TwtAnkh-Aten until he was of legal age to change his name and mandate the reopening of the other ntrw temples. This is because Akhenaten was still alive after leaving the throne, but the Aten still ruled (in Kemetic custom) until the succeeding pharaoh (who was the highest priest) could mandate the change.

As for your other concern, the Jewish and Christian religions are simply borrowed/*******ized precepts of Kemetic spirituality. Islam then tried to steal the thunder of Christians and Jews so I often throw them into the same bucket as well.
