Recommended Posts

Cool, Ike's the King of Egypt!

 

I always wondered where you got the name from, so i decided to see if it had a meaning to it, so i went to http://www.dictionary.com and typed in Ikhnaton to see what it brought up. :)

See Akhenaton.

actually i chose the name from a song title by Genesis. Part 3 of Supper's Ready, a 23 minute epic song frm 1973, is entitled "Ikhnaton and Itsacon and their band of merry men."

 

 

Ikhnaton and Akhenaton are the same name, just spelled differently. Akhenaton's name was Amonhotep IV before he changed it to worship the sun god Aton instead of the other god Amon.

Yes, Ikhnaton was the first non-Jew monotheist. He also was the first to introduce "truth" in Egyptian art. Being of a rather incestous lineage, he had some odd physical traits like large lips, long nose, and a long belly, and he insisted that the artists sculpt and paint him as he really was. The good news of that is that they also did the same for his wife, Nefertiti, who apparently was a hottie.

 

mmm, dead egyptian girls.

 

 

don't know anything about the bisexual thing though.
