Akhenaten: Unorthodox Ruler Who Had Only One God - Ancient Pages
A. Sutherland - AncientPages.com - Akhenaten is one of the most famous rulers in the Land of Pharaohs and he still remains a unique and controversial figure
Who is the pharaoh Akhenaten? He was a ruler in Egypt who decided to get rid of all of the idol worshipers in Egypt, which constituted over 2000 gods along with their temples and priests and God only knows what else..
As a result, he began the methodical eradication of all signs related to the Amun-Re cult. He withdrew funding from all temples of "false gods". Taking money and power away from what was, at the time, a very powerful and wealthy priestly class, created chaos, discontent, and protests.
This is comparable to Trump waging war on the 4rth branch of government, which is the massive modern day regulatory structure within the Executive Branch. It too is a type of cult that believes without it's regulatory power, we would all perish. It too is a very powerful and wealthy subculture that will use all it's power to fight anyone threatening their power and existence.
What I can tell you about Akhenaten is that his opponents could not immediately overthrown his reign of power, rather, they just waited until he died, after which they attempted to destroy all record of the pharaoh as well as his city that he built in order to eradicate all historical memory of him forever, as they then recreated their Amun-Re cult of the pantheon of some 2000 or so gods they worshiped. They were a type of Deep State of the Egyptian empire. Unfortunately for them, they failed in destroying all record of his existence, but came very close to doing so.
How will they destroy Trump or will Trump just go soft on them and not really tinker to much with their bureaucratic cult?
