: : I have recently been reading and writing about ancient : : Egypt. In my research I have come up with a problem. : : The two text books I have say that Ihknaten was the : : pharoah of the 18th dynasty (Father of King Tut, : : Nefertiti's husband) that attempted to convert egypt : : to monotheism. But in other sources ("The Twelfth : : Transforming" by Pauline Gedge) he is refered to as : : Akenaten or Akhnaton. To confuse matters even more : : his original name was Amenhotep IV or Amenophis IV : : and he changed it himself. The city that he constructed : : was also named after him (whatever his name was). : : Does anyone know what the story is, did they make : : some recent discovery that negates my older reference : : material? I just don't want to look stupid when my : : international best seller is released and the pharoah's : : name is spelt wrong. : : Any answers or questions or hate mail or love letters: : : stiernan@carsurvey.com : :
