Great Hymn to the Aten the god of Akhenaten - illustrations and analysis
In ancient Egyptian religion Aten is a Sun God depicted as the solar disk emitting rays terminating in human hands. He was worshipped in the state religion established by the 18th Dynasty King Akhenaton who reigned Egypt in the 14th century B.C. Akhenaten returned to the supremacy of the sun god with the startling innovation that the Aten was to be the only god.
The Great Hymn to the Aten is our main source for the nature of the God whom Akhenaten called for. It also throws light on the radical reformulation of ancient Egyptian belief by Akhenaten who tried to replace polytheism and anthropomorphism with monotheism, the belief of One God.
