| Summary | "The Life and Times of Akhnaton, Pharaoh of Egypt" by Arthur E. P. Brome Weigall is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work chronicles the fascinating life and reign of Akhnaton, a unique figure in ancient Egyptian history, known for his radical reforms and revolutionary religious doctrines. This biography presents not only the events of his reign but also explores the philosophical and cultural shifts initiated under his leadership. At the start of the narrative, the author sets the stage by discussing the exceptional nature of Akhnaton's reign compared to other Pharaohs in ancient Egypt. Highlighting Akhnaton's upbringing, his lineage, and the political backdrop of the time, Weigall elaborates on the religious transformations and conflicts that define Akhnaton's rule. The opening section introduces key figures in his life, including his ancestors, particularly his mother Queen Tiy, and establishes the groundwork for understanding Akhnaton as a significant and often misunderstood leader who sought to reshape the spiritual and cultural landscape of his time.
