Aten Disk S60 V3 Theme 1

The mythology of the Aten, the radiant disk of the sun, is not only unique in Egyptian history, but is also one of the most complex and controversial aspects of Ancient Egypt. The Aten-disk was venerated as a form of god from the late Middle Kingdom during the reign of Akhenaten, the Aten was made the king god. Akhenaten considered Aten as the only god, and creator of the universe, beginning with Akhenaten father, Amenhotep III, Aten enjoyed a higher level of worship. The Aten was represented in the new artwork of this time, known as the Amarna Period, as a disk with lines representing rays of light terminating in hands which reach out to the royal family, sometimes offering an Ankh, the hieroglyphic sign for life. Akhenaten, his wife Nefertiti and his daughters are frequently shown worshipping the Aten or indulging in everyday activities beneath the Aten disk.
