EGYPT Ekhnaton (Akenaton or Akhenaten; Amenofi IV) and the wife Nefertiti receive the beams benefits from the God Aton. Amenofi IV operated one deep religious transformation. Put from the father (Amenofi III); promoter of a new doctrine; strongly revolutionary made itself; centralized on the cult of the solar globe (Aton); intended but not more in quality than mitologica figure; like the God Ra of the tradition; but in the specific nature of star that generates the universal existence. The Aton contains and irradiates in the world all the energies that return the life possible; through the mediation of the monarch and its relatives. The Pharaoh assumed so the role of adds prophet and of intermediary between the divine sphere and that human. The revolutionary character of the new religion was given by its essentially monoteistica nature: the solar globe constituted in fact the primary and only source of the vital forces; therefore it turned out useless and foolish to attribute to human forms or animals to the various manifestations of the divine one. In ossequio to the new God the sovereign reformer it changed own name Amenofi IV in Ekhnaton. Press that represents a bas-relief of XVIII the Dynasty; (1548-1292 a.C.; New Reign)
