Is that how it works?
Can you tell us a bit more about Amenhotep?
Because I mean, I feel like, you know, we are going to talk about Akhenaten a lot.
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.
Amenhotep, what was he like?
How was he depicted?
I mean, just give us a little bit more on his dad.
You stick to it.
But also stick to Amenhotep for a minute.
I want to know about Akhenaten's daddy.
So just tell us a little more.
Come on.
But your wife loved your children.
I mean, you say that Akhenaten carries on the traditions of his father.
You know, actually, what he does is it's like a relay race and he picks up a baton.
Why does it feel like it's such a new era?
I mean, quite apart from moving religions, which we'll get onto in a bit.
Why does he feel like sort of an art or portrayal, aesthetic?
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.
He almost looks like our depictions of aliens in, you know, science fiction now.
