362. Ancient Egypt: Great Kings of The Bronze Age (Ep 1)

Is that how it works?

Empire: World History
362. Ancient Egypt: Great Kings of The Bronze Age (Ep 1)

Can you tell us a bit more about Amenhotep?

Empire: World History
362. Ancient Egypt: Great Kings of The Bronze Age (Ep 1)

Because I mean, I feel like, you know, we are going to talk about Akhenaten a lot.

Empire: World History
362. Ancient Egypt: Great Kings of The Bronze Age (Ep 1)

And if anyone has been obsessed with Egyptology, you all know Akhenaten is, you know, this new era of sort of pot-bellied, strange, elongated head pharaohs that sort of changes, you know, at least the aesthetic.

Empire: World History
362. Ancient Egypt: Great Kings of The Bronze Age (Ep 1)

Amenhotep, what was he like?

Empire: World History
362. Ancient Egypt: Great Kings of The Bronze Age (Ep 1)

How was he depicted?

Empire: World History
362. Ancient Egypt: Great Kings of The Bronze Age (Ep 1)

Empire: World History
362. Ancient Egypt: Great Kings of The Bronze Age (Ep 1)

You stick to it.

Empire: World History
362. Ancient Egypt: Great Kings of The Bronze Age (Ep 1)

But also stick to Amenhotep for a minute.

Empire: World History
362. Ancient Egypt: Great Kings of The Bronze Age (Ep 1)

I want to know about Akhenaten's daddy.

Empire: World History
362. Ancient Egypt: Great Kings of The Bronze Age (Ep 1)

So just tell us a little more.

Empire: World History
362. Ancient Egypt: Great Kings of The Bronze Age (Ep 1)

Come on.

Empire: World History
362. Ancient Egypt: Great Kings of The Bronze Age (Ep 1)

But your wife loved your children.

Empire: World History
362. Ancient Egypt: Great Kings of The Bronze Age (Ep 1)

I mean, you say that Akhenaten carries on the traditions of his father.

Empire: World History
362. Ancient Egypt: Great Kings of The Bronze Age (Ep 1)

You know, actually, what he does is it's like a relay race and he picks up a baton.

Empire: World History
362. Ancient Egypt: Great Kings of The Bronze Age (Ep 1)

Why does it feel like it's such a new era?

Empire: World History
362. Ancient Egypt: Great Kings of The Bronze Age (Ep 1)

I mean, quite apart from moving religions, which we'll get onto in a bit.

Empire: World History
362. Ancient Egypt: Great Kings of The Bronze Age (Ep 1)

Why does he feel like sort of an art or portrayal, aesthetic?

Empire: World History
362. Ancient Egypt: Great Kings of The Bronze Age (Ep 1)

He's always, and I should explain, because if you haven't seen this, you know, you've got this, you know, the elongated skull of Akhenaten, the drooping belly, the wide hips, you know, sort of spindly arms.

Empire: World History
362. Ancient Egypt: Great Kings of The Bronze Age (Ep 1)

He almost looks like our depictions of aliens in, you know, science fiction now.
