Egyptian Papyrus Painting: Akhenaten and Nefertiti and Child Offer Sacrifices

Egyptian Papyrus Painting: Akhenaten and Nefertiti

Akhenaten and his queen Nefertiti were behind a revolutionary period of Egyptian rule known as the Amarna Interlude, signified by a flourishing of a new form of art and by religious upheaval. Together, they fostered thh worship of the sun god Re in the form of the cult of the sun disc Aten. They established themselves as living gods - thus only by worshipping the royal pair could people access the Aten. In this scene Akhenaten, Nefertiti, and one of their daughters (some will say that it actually one of Ramses lesser wives Kiya) offer sacrifices to the sun-disk Aten, whose rays, stretching down, end in hands bearing the ankh—the Egyptian symbol of eternal life.
