Summary
Details

In in 1922, Howard Carter famously discovered Tutankhamun's almost completely intact tomb during an excavation funded by Lord Carnarvon. The discovered garnered worldwide press coverage and ignited a renewal in public interest in the subject of Ancient Egypt. This volume looks at the life and reign of Tutankhamun (1341 - 1323 BC), focusing on Atenism and Egyptian religion-particularly Egyptian monotheism and the god Amen. Contents include: The Reign of Tutankhamen , Tutankhamen and the Cult of Amen , A Hymn to Amen and Atem , The Cult of Aten, the God and Disk under Amenhetep IV , Hymns to Aten , A Hymn to Atem by the King , A Hymn to Atem by Ali, Overseer of the Horse , Hymns to the Sun-God , etc. Sir Ernest Alfred Thompson Wallis Budge (1857 - 1934) was an English Orientalist, Egyptologist, and philologist. He worked for the British Museum and published numerous works on the ancient 'Near East'. This volume will appeal to those with an interest in Ancient Egypt and the pharaoh Tutankhamun in particular. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.
