Aten – The ‘Controversial’ God
egyptian gods_Ancient Egyptian gods_gods_Egyptian goddess-2
Originally considered as an aspect of other ancient Egyptian gods, namely Ra, Aten personified the disc of the sun as visible from the earth. And like other aspects following the likeness of the main deities, Aten was usually worshipped as a falcon-headed god, thus mirroring the image of Ra. On occasions, Aten was also hailed as the silver disc, thus suggesting its aspect of the moon.
However, during the reign of Pharaoh Amenhotep IV – who was later known as Akhenaten, the Pharaoh proclaimed that Aten was to venerated above the other Egyptian gods. In essence, Akhenaten declared a monotheistic (or possibly henotheistic) mode of religious affiliation across all of Egypt, with the worship centered around Aten. Such a radical promulgation had deep-reaching effects on the Egyptian society and culture.
Pertaining to the latter, the royal city of Amarna boasted revolutionary architecture centered around the worship of Aten. For example, most of the temples were constructed without any roofing, thus symbolically allowing the unobstructed passage of the effulgent rays of the solar deity on the worshipers inside. But such measures ultimately resulted in counter-implementations of the traditional pantheon system – with the legacy of Akhenaten and Aten being intentionally wiped out by his successors after the defiant pharaoh’s death. Even the city of Amarna was razed by the later ‘traditionalists’, though some structural segments did survive to provide a historical glimpse into the royal city (watch the reconstruction here).
