Podcasts about pharaoh akhenaten

The Akhenaten Alien Theory is a speculative idea that proposes Pharaoh Akhenaten was an extraterrestrial being. This theory is based on his unusual appearance in ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics and statues, which depict him with an elongated skull, long neck, and other features that some people associate with Western depictions of aliens. However, historians argue that his appearance could be attributed to a genetic disorder or a representation of his possible transgender identity. While this theory is intriguing, it remains a speculative idea within the realm of ancient astronaut hypothesis and lacks concrete evidence to support its claims. Nevertheless, it contributes to the ongoing discussions and debates surrounding Akhenaten's enigmatic figure and his role in ancient Egyptian history. ----------------- Head to the Strange Places home website, asylum817.com to keep up with all things Strange Places, as well as the host.

Friday Live, The Allens Investigate welcome Ralph Ellis Episode Bio: In this episode your hosts Gary & Shona Allen will be chatting to the fascinating writer, historian and independent researcher, Ralph Ellis. Ralph will be discussing the Old Testament - the Israelites and the Hyksos and their connection to Egypt, touching upon Pharaoh Akhenaten, providing a new and compelling insight into his 40 plus years of research and discoveries and the new light it throws onto the biblical story. Guest bio: Writer, Historian, Polymath and independent researcher of Biblical and Egyptian history Ralph Ellis, has been researching biblical and Egyptian history for more than 40 years. Being independent from theological and educational establishments allows Ralph to tread where others do not dare, and it is through this independence that Ralph has discovered so many new biblical and historical truths. Perhaps one of the biggest 'cover-ups' he reveals is the fact that the Israelites were originally Egyptians, the Hyksos Shepherd pharaohs who were ejected from Egypt in the 17th century BC. But this simple correlation colours the rest of biblical history, for it means that both King Solomon and King Jesus were also of Egyptian heritage.

In celebration of the Spring Equinox, we present the Great Hymn To The Aten - Ancient Egyptian Heretical Prayer with words and music. The Great Hymn to the Aten is the longest of a number of hymn-poems written to the sun-disk deity Aten. Composed in the middle of the 14th century BC, it is attributed to the 18th dynasty Pharaoh Akhenaten, who radically changed traditional forms of Egyptian religion by replacing them with Atenism.

Pharaoh Akhenaten is one of the most controversial rulers in Ancient Egypt. He was to become known as the “rebel pharaoh” who tried to change Egyptian religion and society to suit his own vision. Akhenaten's personality is still disputed, but it's clear that he was a rebellious individual who didn't fit in to conventional Egyptian ideas, and was somewhat of a despot who had big dreams which he would pursue no matter the cost to the state or individuals he was responsible for; it's ironic that the motto of his reign was “ankh em ma'at” – Life in proper order.

Carter and Ryan discuss the age of the University of Oxford, Pharaoh Akhenaten, and the trendy Mongolian composite bow.

In the 14th century BCE, Pharaoh Akhenaten controversially moved the capital of Egypt to Amarna (what contemporaries called Akhetaten). Dr Thais Rocha da Silva, University of São Paulo & Harris Manchester College, University of Oxford, joins the show to talk about what the city was like.

Archaeologists have never given up the hope of one day finding the burial place of Pharaoh Akhenaten, who disappeared in mysterious circumstances after 17 years on the throne, and was succeeded by his son Tutankhamun. Some archaeologists are even looking for the king's tomb far away from the Nile Valley, in the desert of Sinai and western Arabia. Although the king had prepared a tomb for himself in his city of Amarna, his body was not found in it; neither did it show any evidence of the king ever being buried there.#akhenaten #nefertiti #akhetaton #amarna #anubitv #ancientegypt #egypt

Akhenaten was an Egyptian Pharaoh in the 18th dynasty that departed from traditional worship to primarily worship the sun deity, Aten, moving Egypt from polytheism to henotheism. British Egyptologist Dr Joyce Tyldesley, The University of Manchester, joins the show again to discuss what scholars know about Akhenaten's life.

The growth of Kassite Babylonia, also called Karduniash, continues apace. Just like last week, Kassite Babylonia is very poorly documented, and thus we are going to cover all the way from Pharaoh Thutmose III to Pharaoh Akhenaten. That's right, Kassite Babylonia has so little history that we make our bookmarks against Egyptian history instead of Babylonian, but this does mean that we will start looking at the famous Amarna letters, the diplomatic correspondence between Kadashman-Enlil and the Egyptian Pharaoh. It is a little bit of war, a little bit of construction, and a thirty five hundred year old missing person case.

Today we're diving into the life of Nefertiti, a queen of the 18th Dynasty of Ancient Egypt, Great Royal Wife of Pharaoh Akhenaten, who reigned in arguably Egypt's wealthiest period of history. Her life is surrounded by controversy and mystery. So today we will talk about Egyptology as a whole and the theories surrounding Nefertiti.Follow this podcast on Instagram for updates and pictures of these ancient sites: https://www.instagram.com/ancienthistorypodast/Business Inquiries: ancienthistorypod@gmail.comWhose Stuff is it, Anyway?

This biography highlights King Akhenaten. The most unique and radical Pharaoh to have ever ruled Egypt, he attempted to change the very foundation of Egyptian thought by establishing the world's first monotheistic religion. Who was this king and who was his only god? We also feature Queen Nefertiti, and her very famous sculpture.

A reinterpretation of biblical and Egyptian history that shows Moses and the Pharaoh Akhenaten to be one and the same. • Provides dramatic evidence from both archaeological and documentary sources. • A radical challenge to long-established beliefs on the origin of Semitic religion. During his reign, the Pharaoh Akhenaten was able to abolish the complex pantheon of the ancient Egyptian religion and replace it with a single god, the Aten, who had no image or form. Seizing on the striking similarities between the religious vision of this “heretic” pharaoh and the teachings of Moses, Sigmund Freud was the first to argue that Moses was in fact an Egyptian. Now Ahmed Osman, using recent archaeological discoveries and historical documents, contends that Akhenaten and Moses were one and the same man. In a stunning retelling of the Exodus story, Osman details the events of Moses/Akhenaten's life: how he was brought up by Israelite relatives, ruled Egypt for seventeen years, angered many of his subjects by replacing the traditional Egyptian pantheon with worship of the Aten, and was forced to abdicate the throne. Retreating to the Sinai with his Egyptian and Israelite supporters, he died out of the sight of his followers, presumably at the hands of Seti I, after an unsuccessful attempt to regain his throne. Osman reveals the Egyptian components in the monotheism preached by Moses as well as his use of Egyptian royal ritual and Egyptian religious expression. He shows that even the Ten Commandments betray the direct influence of Spell 125 in the Egyptian Book of the Dead. Moses and Akhenaten provides a radical challenge to long-standing beliefs concerning the origin of Semitic religion and the puzzle of Akhenaten's deviation from ancient Egyptian tradition. In fact, if Osman's contentions are correct, many major Old Testament figures would be of Egyptian origin.Born in Cairo in 1934, Ahmed Osman has been trying to discover the historical origin of the stories of the Bible for the last 30 years. He is the author of several books, including Christianity: An Ancient Egyptian Religion, Moses and Akhenaten, and The Lost City of the Exodus. He lives in England.

The original worship of the Aten (the solar disk) was a religion devoted to a single God while accepting the existence of many other Gods and Goddesses. The Aten was hailed as the absolute and universal Lord of all things. During the ninth year of the reign of the Pharaoh Akhenaten the worship of idols was banned with the exception of the Aten as a rayed solar disc. (Akhenaten ruled for 17 years which ended around 1336 BC). This pioneering spiritual experiment was intended to help the collective revere and experience a higher light. However, it was a failure only in that it was short lived. It did manage to plant a new and quite powerful seed of light in the collective consciousness. This seed of light became a reference point for the coming three monotheistic religions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Unfortunately, this seed of light picked up much negative programming from the 3D Matrix that needs to be cleared. Programming such as: The God Force being viewed as exclusively masculine, the impulse to block other forms of worship, elitism where only the chosen few can communicate with the God Force (only Akhenaten and his wife Nefertiti could directly connect with the Aten, Akhenaten and Nefertiti were in effect the High Priest and High Priestess of the New Religion) and finally that of persecution, violence and death (which is how the experiment ended). All of these programs affected the coming three monotheistic religions in various degrees. In this transmission we call upon the Elohim and the Archangels to help us resurrect the Aten, that original seed of light, and then clear it and upgrade it to its true 5D nature.

Is the government covering up proof that aliens exist? Are top-ranking officials hiding evidence that extra terrestrials have been in contact with world leaders for decades? Was the monotheistic Pharaoh Akhenaten erased from Egypt's past for his rebellious rule? Does the Rendelsholm Forest cover up finally get to see the light of day since Ancient Aliens first gave the airman involved a voice to the viewers back in 2010? Ancient Astronaut researchers...say yes. But what do Steve and Joey say? Do Tsoukalous, Bara, Childress and the gang offer proof of these "gub'ment" coverups? Do they reveal the truth to us terrestrial television tourists, breaking apart all governments and changing the course of history and the world forever thanks to proving that aliens exist and are among us? The fact that this episode was allowed on the air should answer that question, but let's proooooooobe deep into these coverups anyway - get your tinfoil hats ready!

Nefertiti was queen alongside Pharaoh Akhenaten. While the remains of other ancient Egyptian royalty have been found, the location of Nefertiti’s tomb remains a mystery. Is it still hidden in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt? Could her remains have already been found in a mummy whose identity has yet to be confirmed? Or did Nefertiti ever exist at all?

During the 18th dynasty, the Pharaoh Akhenaten said goodbye to tradition and turned Egypt upside down. He created a new cult, which some refer to as the first monotheistic religion, a new capital and a whole new art style. Rachel and Rissy discuss how this shocked society and the ramifications of Ahkenaten's rule. The music I've used is actually probably from morocco, which is pretty off base. I found a cache of recordings from the 1920s and 1930s from northern Africa. I couldn't find anything specifically Egyptian in the free music archive that worked, but i still liked the feel of this song.

In this episode we discuss life in Ancient Egypt specifically in the 18th dynasty, as well as the Pharaoh Akhenaten who attempted to make the god Aten the only god of a formerly polytheistic society. Kevin Miller returns as guest.

  Episode #011 For Tuesday, November 11, 2014 “Akhenaten, Moses, and Monotheism” HOST: Dewayne Bryant     Show Notes: In this episode, Dewayne explores the religious beliefs of Pharaoh Akhenaten and critics’ claims that the monotheism of the Hebrews came from ancient Egypt.

Melvyn Bragg and guests Elizabeth Frood, Richard Parkinson and Kate Spence discuss the Pharaoh Akhenaten, the ruler who brought revolutionary change to ancient Egypt. During his reign, Akhenaten embarked on a profoundly radical project: he set out to transform his people's deepest religious beliefs, moving from a polytheistic tradition to the elevation of a single solar god, Aten. The changes in art and architecture that followed have led some to call him 'history's first individual'. Despite his successors' attempts to obliterate him from the historical record, Akhenaten - and his wife Nefertiti - have been an endless source of fascination and speculation.Richard Parkinson is an Egyptologist at the British Museum; Elizabeth Frood is a Lecturer in Egyptology at the University of Oxford; Kate Spence is a Lecturer in the Archaeology of Ancient Egypt at the University of Cambridge.

In episode 21, we scratch the surface of one of the most interesting periods from Ancient Egypt, the reign of Pharaoh Akhenaten. We explore the radical social transformations during his reign and its uniquely characteristic artistic revolution known as the Amarna style.
