114: Amarna, City of Akhenaten (Part 1)

Establishing Amarna. Pharaoh was at a crossroads. Having declared his intentions to build a new royal residence, away from Thebes, Akhenaten now needed to develop it... Part 1: The new city of Akhet-Aten would grow outwards from a central quarter, focussed on pharaoh and his government's needs. Grand palaces, lavish homes and secret gardens characterise the heart of Akhenaten's famous city... Part 2: We explore Akhenaten's mind-set around the time he moved to Amarna. Did the King always plan this city? Did he want to live here forever and never leave? And how did he think about the community he was developing? NOTE: Originally released as 114 and 114b. The two episodes are now compiled. Date: c.1357 BCE (regnal year 6) King: Akhenaten (Nefer-kheperu-Re Wa-en-Re) Queen: Nefertiti (Nefer-neferu-Aten) Cities: Amarna (Akhet-Aten) Website: www.egyptianhistorypodcast.com.
