Egypt's golden empire : Pharaohs of the Sun 4/9

Over 3,500 years ago, Rome was no more than a soggy marsh and the Acropolis was just an empty rock, but Egypt was on the brink of its greatest age - the New Kingdom. There was an explosion of creativity, wealth and power in Egypt that would make it the envy of the world. After defeating the Hyksos invaders, successive Pharaohs expanded and maintained their Empire through both force and diplomacy. In the process, they won Egypt vast amounts of gold, influence and respect. They included; Ahmose, Hatshepsut, Tuthmosis III, Amenhotep III, Akenhaten, Tutankhamen and Ramesses III. Behind the power of the Egyptian empire lay a vast wealth of natural resources. Chief among these was the river Nile, the freeway of the ancient world, whose floodplains also provided huge expanses of fertile farming ground that kept Egypt self-sufficient and usually famine-free. Along the banks of the Nile, the humble papyrus plant was used to create a bureaucratic efficiency and cultural sophistication previously unknown to mankind

@Epiphanystone in islam its amin not amen, which means "so be it" it is not referred to Amenhotep, and its not at the end of the muslim prayers either. just making it clear, but it does sounds similar.

WHAT A GOOD LOOKING WHITE MAN...AKHENATEN WAS

[sajokal20]

Read the History ,the egyptians are alive : «Again the representations of the early Puntites, or Somali people, on the Egyptian monuments, show striking resemblances to the Egyptians themselves. » : "The Wisdom of the Egyptians" By Brian Brown New York: Brentano's [1923].

According to the historian Richard Pankhurst :"""The Egyptians sometimes called Punt land Ta-Netjeru, meaning "Land of the Gods," and considered it their place of origin ." (Richard Pankhurst, "The Ethiopian Borderlands":)

[TheKsk1997]

So it was from his father Amenhotep III that Akhenaten adopted Aten.

Queen Tiye was a awesome woman, I can see why Amenhotep considered her his main lady.
