Okay, welcome back.
So just before the break, we had Akhenaten having private conflabs with God and seeing his messages in the landscape and deciding he's going to build his new capital in the middle of a virgin landscape.
Not an easy thing to do.
How long does it take him to do it, first of all, and what does he create?
Thank you.
I am also not a fan.
Willie, what about you?
So the lines are drawn, you love him, I hate him, and Lloyd's going to be a bit more diplomatic about it.
Not only did he make them, you know, keel over and die in the sun, ridiculous new place.
his new pad, but also, I mean, the things he expected, he wanted an obliteration of any name, any image, any iconography to do with the past gods.
Some of these things are difficult to get to.
I mean, we're talking about very tall obelisks that he's sending these poor workers up to right to the top to chisel off names.
The pettiness of it feels a bit bonkers to me, that it all has to be scrubbed out.
It's egomaniacal to the point where actually, I mean, even if you had a name that was associated with the old gods, let's say your father had a name associated with the old gods, he would have that name scrubbed off your father's tomb.
Lloyd, can we talk about the Aten itself?
This is sort of the center of this cult.
I mean, it feels to me like a new cult, really.
It's a boy rebelling against his dad and he knows everything and this is going to be the way and it's all about him.
The Aten, theologically, what is it?
