Just think it is important to point out that the famous Tutankhamun was Akhenaten's son. Which is probably why Tut's reign was so brief, as the hostility towards his fathers monotheism carried over.

It's not 100percent fact because we don't have Akhenaten or Nefertiti's dna to prove it.

@@williamkirk7781 We have Tutankhamun's, his father's and his mother's mummies and DNA, but we aren't at all sure that the parents were Akhenaten and Nefertiti respectively. There's also some funny stuff with DNA identification because of the known or possible family in-bred connections. Hint: it may all go back to Yuya, maternal grandfather of Akhenaten, who MAY have also been his paternal granmother's brother... and possibly even Nefertiti's grandfather.

@skinnydavenport407 3 жыл бұрын

It's hard to understand why Tutankhamun was included among the kings erased from Egyptian records because Tutankhamun restored the traditional gods, so why did the Egyptians try to forget him? No loyalty from the wicked, I suppose.

I'm going through a playlist of AP Art History works and for some reason lots and lots of the videos I've seen so far have a larger amount of dislikes than normal, even on some really small channels which have like 8 likes and 4 dislikes, not even exaggerating. It's really weird, I wouldn't have expected mostly college board approved Art History to be that controversial

Some have argued that the art style isn’t as much a break as a return of very old styles seen in predynastic sculpture. Makes some sense to me as his motivations were to return Egypt back to older traditions in religion.

Amarna art resembles nothing from Egypt’s predynastic era. Nor was the Aten religion a tradition.

Umm he doesn't look like he's Holding his daughter he looks like he getting ready to eat her while the other two are trying to arn the mother in distress all he Children look like they were in distress the king and queen oddly don't look human at all either which stands out a lot to me at least that's what I see just by looking at it and not knowing it's true symbolism. Makes more sense when explained but to be honest at first glance that was NOT what I saw at all.
