Various writers have depicted this strange ruler of the fourteenth century B.C. as a disguised woman or a eunuch, a mentor of Moses, or a forerunner of Christ. Drawing on information from his own excavations, the Director of the Akhenaten Temple Project describes the kingly heretic against the background of imperial Egypt.--From publisher description.
