The First Monotheistic Pharaoh | The Story of God

amid the remains of dozens of Pharaohs
Egyptologist Salima Ikram is going to
help me find one whose name is Akhenaten
there he is
Akhenaten yep he thought that there were
too many gods and not enough focus was
on him their will needs to be a
important God whom only I can channel so
he changed things radically here
basically closed down most of the
temples said that there is a special God
the Son God the art and and that you can
worship the Artem through me and that
didn’t go over too well with a few
people no no that was not a very popular
move because of course all the priests
of the other important gods were shut
down around the year 1350 BC Akhenaten
declared the Sun would be Egypt’s only
God in doing so he would found the first
faith and recorded history with a single
deity
but it would not last as soon as he died
the old priesthood struck back this
piece has been hacked away as you can
tell you can see how the name of the
King is hacked out the name of the art
nurse also attacked everything there is
tip tip tip tip tip tip tip tip and it’s
gone away because the fraud it just
destroyed his memories
yeah but best a good aknadin hoped his
son would continue this legacy but his
son was only nine years old when he took
the throne
his name was Tutankhamun
