About This Book

An archaeological and historical overview of the Amarna discoveries examines the royal city, rock tombs, artistic innovations, and inscriptions that document a pharaoh’s promotion of sun-disk worship and its social consequences. The account integrates the cuneiform Amarna letters to illuminate diplomacy, trade, and imperial administration, traces the religious reform and its rapid undoing, and evaluates how material and textual evidence from the site bears on study of biblical-era history and religious development.
