3. Akhenaten and His Family Dynasty 18, c. 1352-1336 BCE
Can you read this image symbolically?
Akhenaten believed in one god—the sun god. The sun god—Aten--is blessing Nefertiti and Akhenaten by holding ankhs to their nostrils (the symbol of eternal life).
Was Nefertiti a co-ruler? The stylized plant symbol of a unified Egypt at the base of her cushioned throne.
Details: The three girl-children are all unclothed: two with shaved heads; one with a single pigtail. Note the drapery that follows the curves.
Note Akhenaten’s “realistic” portrayal. He only reigned for fifteen years….

Note the influence of the Greek and Roman classical art; Egypt was conquered in 332 BCE by the Macedonian Greeks under Alexander the Great. The Greek ruler, Ptolemy, took over Egypt after Alexander the Great’s death and started the Ptolemaic Dynasty (c BCE). Cleopatra was the last ruler of this dynasty. After her death, the Romans took over and used Egypt as it “breadbasket” and granary.
