Part of the Amarna letters is a rather clipped-toned one from the king of Assyria, which was permitted to rise to power when Mitanni fell. The letter basically demands that Akhenaten allow the king’s servant to visit Egypt unmolested. I always liked reading that one.

@@thevisitor1012 It was something of the etiquette of the time. The pre-bronze age collapse empires formed a sort of brotherhood or detente between one another, commonly referred to by scholars these days as a "club of great powers". They would regularly write to one another, invite each other to major ceremonies (not that they would actually attend), inquire after one another's health, send each other regular gifts, and of course, send fact-finding missions into each other's lands. The great powers consisted initially of the Empire of Hati, the Kingdom of the Hurrians, or Mitanni, Kassite Babylonia, and New Kingdom Egypt. When Hati destroyed Mitanni, Mitanni's former Assyrian provinces rose up and consumed the former kingdom, forming the Assyrian Empire. The demands of the Assyrian King for Akhenaten to permit his fact finding mission was likely a means of demanding the same respect and status accorded to great powers in the region. Another letter has the Assyrian King complaining that the pharaoh sent him less gold than the other kings, so Akhenaten probably wasn't impressed.

A book recommendation for anyone interested in this topic: The Egyptian (Sinuhe Egyptiläinen) by Finnish author Mika Waltari. It takes place in exactly these times. It's an excellent read.

Neferneferuaten wasn’t a new name for Nefertiti, it was actually apart of her royal name from nearly the outset of their marriage. Full name being Nefertiti-Neferneferuaten. Whether or not she became king after Smenkhare is questionable and unknown. Although not impossible as she seems to have disappeared around the end of Akhenaten's reign only to perhaps return as king within a year or two. It could be possible that she was also Smenkhare under her first incarnation as king, later changing her name back to Nefertiti-Neferneferuaten. This is of course all speculation.

And the first female pharaoh Hatshepsut. They now think it was was actually her grandson who tried to have her removed from Egyptian history not her step son who took over after she died. It appears he actually has quite a good relationship with her, after all he was mostly interested in the army when he was Pharaoh and it was as general and leader of the army that he served as under her. Basically if he'd wanted her gone he easily had the power to remove her, he lead the army and they were very loyal to him not her. Yes she sent him and the army on a huge "trading" journey up the Nile but he could ignore her and taken the throne if he really wanted it. It's probable that not many would have objected as a female Pharaoh was always seen as wrong by most. Whoever it was has her image and cartouche scratches out and the huge temple she has built in the valley of the Kings torn down. Again her step son has built one right next to hers so tearing hers down doesn't really make sense. Either way history will out. It's almost impossible to totally remove someone from history, especially in a culture like Egypt which carved their history in stone and traded with many nations who also recorded everything. Once someone finds a name they don't know connected with something like the Kings of Egypt they'll chase and find everything they can.

It was already known that they got on before she took the throne but again the old assumptions were made that she'd stolen the throne. It's now believed that the previous pharaoh wanted her to rule, at least till Tut was older but that both were actually much happier with their roles so he didn't bother to rock the boat and accepted his role as leader of the army. Something he obviously loved, you can see that from just how much time he spent on campaign etc once he was Pharaoh. Things might change in the new books but historians are anything but consistent and can start a fight over a scratch on a wall so..... We'll see, the old evil step mother story is such a solid trope though it might take something very solid to actually get a change.

Just a couple of points to make... 1) Evidence of a long co-regency was discovered in 2013 by the Institute of Studies of Ancient Egypt, Madrid, Spain. In the tomb of Amenhotep son of Hapu, also known as Huy, (Asasif tomb 28) fragments of a column were found to be inscribed with the cartouches of Amenhotep III and his successor Akhenaten. This is pretty well "smoking-gun" evidence of a co-regency. 2) Later in his reign, one of Amenhotep III's favorite epithets is that of "Aten tjehen" or "the dazzling sun disc. Akhenaten advocated worship of his father as the "one true god", in an effort to diminish the power and influence of the priesthood of Amen-Ra.

There were some claims, for example in the 1st 2 chapters of Moses and Monotheism by Freud, that early Judaism was basically a spin-off of Akhenaten's religion. There are indeed some remarkable similarities: Akhenaten, an Egyptian, is perhaps the 1st monotheist in History; Judaism is the 1st organized monotheistic religion, and its becoming one is associated with the Exodus from Egypt. ... There are significant similarities between The Great Hymn of the Aten and Psalm 104 in the Old Testament. These were first identified in 1905 by the American Egyptologist Henry Breasted, and have been the subject of considerable academic debate ever since.
