A God Against Gods

[nx74defiant]

Amonhtep seeks to lesson Amon and his priest power and pays a high price. His son Ankenaten grow to hate Amon and love Aton. In the book Akhenaten starts out as a handsome child, then becomes the disfigured man of his portraits. As he grows and changes he becomes more and more stange. He also becomes obsessed with the Aton. The book ends shortly after he becomes the sole Pharoah, when he has declared Aton the sole god of Egypt and moved his city.

I knew the Pharohs married their sisters, but in this book they also marry their daughters. Somehow that idea really distirbed me.
