In this episode of History Shorts, we uncover the astonishing story of Akhenaten, the heretic king who defied 2,000 years of tradition, abandoned the old gods of Egypt, and built an entirely new capital dedicated to one deity: the sun disk, Aten.   DON'T FORGET TO SUBSCRIBE AND LEAVE A RATING OR A REVIEW!
