Excerpt from Tell El Amarna
I reached the Ghizeh Museum with 132 cases. The objects brought to England were exhibited in the autumn. The representative collection of all the objects was presented to the Ashmolean Museum at Oxford, and will be exhibited in the new museum there, forming the most complete collection of the work of Akhenaten.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book takes readers on an exciting journey through the fascinating ruins of Tell el Amarna, an ancient Egyptian city built by the enigmatic Pharaoh Akhenaten. The author, a renowned Egyptologist, guides us through the site, meticulously documenting the palace, temples, houses, and workshops that once thrived in this now-desolate city. Through detailed descriptions of the architecture, inscriptions, and artifacts, the book unveils the unique artistic and religious innovations that characterized Akhenaten's reign, a period marked by the introduction of a new monotheistic religion centered around the sun god Aten. The author delves into the intricate details of the palace, describing the luxurious decorations, the royal apartments, and the intricate system of water management. He also examines the manufacturing processes that took place within the city, shedding light on the production of glass, pottery, and other valuable objects. By exploring the layout of the city and the nature of its buildings, the book offers a window into the daily life of Akhenaten's people and provides valuable insights into the social, political, and religious changes that swept Egypt during this pivotal period. The book's careful analysis of the city's ruins, combined with the author's insightful interpretations, provides a compelling narrative of Akhenaten's ambitious project to create a new capital and reshape Egyptian society.
