Hymn to Aton

Akhnaton, a great mystic and pharaoh who ruled Egypt in the mid-14th century BC, wrote this beautiful poem, Hymn to Aton, in homage to the Sun. For Akhnaton (known as Amenhotep IV before he changed his name), the Sun (Aton) symbolized the sole deity who gives light and joy to all creation.

Text by Akhnaton. Narration, music, paintings, photography, and video by Anne Nordhaus-Bike.

Light (Aten) communicates with Water to create Life. How could they forget Her?

Akhunaton....a True eternal Ascended Master.

"Although you are present in the eyes of men, they do not know the course you follow in the heaven"

.....indeed; bless the solar disc.

@knoxvilleguy2 He's probably the first known person who advocated monotheism.

Compare this to Psalm 104. Other people have before me. Akhenaten was either a visionary whose time hadn't yet come, or a religious fanatic.
