🔘CHAPTER 26a • Moroni recounts the history of Egypt, the first great empire. He explains why the histories of the human race are one-sided and seldom tell the whole truth. • The pharaoh Akhenaton is introduced, and is befriended by the prophet Ubaid. • The Egyptian nation is a great nation, which is later destroyed because of wickedness. 66 And it came to pass that the nation of Egypt became exceedingly great among all the nations of the earth. And they trained armies to protect them, and they caused that great cities were built up according to their traditions and the worship of their gods. 67 And it came to pass that there was a son of a pharaoh, whose name was Akhenaton. And during the days of his youth, Akhenaton played among the slaves, which were in the service of his father. 68 And among those with whom he played, was a boy whose name was Ubaid. And Ubaid had been foreordained by the Lord to become a great prophet to the Egyptian people. For the parents of Ubaid were a humble people who did not accept the many gods that were worshipped in Egypt. 69 Nevertheless, they were forbidden by law to speak their minds concerning theses things. And they were mindful of the plight in which the poor class of the people found themselves under the reign of the pharaohs. 70 And they began to teach their son that there was but one God, and that God would not want that any of His children suffer as the poor were being forced to suffer because of the wickedness of the rich. And they were gentle people who gave what they could to relieve the suffering of those who suffered. 71 And the father of Ubaid was one of the chief laborers who was assigned to the upkeep and maintenance of the statues of the gods that adorned the great houses in which the Pharaoh and his wives dwelt. For the Pharaoh had many wives, he being considered a god who had this right. 72 And the Pharaoh trusted the father of Ubaid and gave unto him great authority over all those who were his servants in his own household. And the father of Ubaid was a just man who dealt justly with all the servants of the Pharaoh, and therefore, was highly esteemed among them for the way that he exercised the authority that he had been given over them by the Pharaoh. 73 And for this reason, Akhenaton was allowed to play with Ubaid all the days of their youth. For it was not permitted by their laws, that the upper class had established for them, that their children, who were esteemed above the children of the lower class, should play with or associate with other children who were not of their own class. 74 But it came to pass that Akhenaton became like a brother unto Ubaid. And while in the house of Ubaid, he would listen to the words of the father of Ubaid and ponder upon them in his heart. 75 And it came to pass, that at a certain time, it was required of Ubaid that he pass through the circumcisions that were customary among the people of Egypt in introducing their young males into adulthood. But among the upper class, it was not a requirement for them. For they had more sanitary environments in which they lived. But of the lower classes, it was a law that all males receive this circumcision. 76 And Akhenaton was forbidden from that time forward to associate with the children of the servants of his father, the Pharaoh. And Akhenaton was exceedingly sorrowful because of the loss of his friend. And he kept this sorrow in his heart because of the power of his father; and also his fear of the judgment of his father, the Pharaoh. 77 But Akhenaton wanted to be circumcised like unto his friend Ubaid so that he could always remember the friendship that they enjoyed as children. 78 And it came to pass that Ubaid grew and was wrought upon by the Holy Ghost. And he was taught the commandments and laws of God, and also the truth pertaining unto God. And he was called to preach repentance to the Egyptian people and show unto them the things wherein they had corrupted the truth concerning the commandments of the Father. 79 And it came to pass that as Ubaid taught the people these things, he was bound and imprisoned by those priests who were threatened by what he preached. And these priests, who were the holy priests of the gods in which the people had been taught to believe, had him bound according to the laws of the land, which did not permit anyone to speak contrary to the teachings of the priests of Pharaoh. 80 And Ubaid was held in captivity for many days and was given little to eat and drink. And his father went unto the Pharaoh and threw himself at the feet of his master and begged for mercy for his son. 81 And the Pharaoh knew not that which had been done by his priests, for they had hidden this thing from him. And the Pharaoh commanded that his priests give unto him an account of all that they had done unto Ubaid, and also an account of why they had done these things. 82 And the priests came before the Pharaoh and told unto him all manner of lies concerning the effect that the preaching of Ubaid was having on the people of Egypt. 83 And now, it would have been no great thing, if Ubaid had spoken of his beliefs and kept them to himself. But when his beliefs began to cause contentions and disputations among the people of Egypt, as the wicked priests reported to the Pharaoh, the Pharaoh was obligated by the laws of their nation to take the life of him who causeth contention, so that the peace of the kingdom would not be affected.

He changed the STATE religion. Personal religion in Egypt carried on as always. Akhenaten was probably making a giant power play by banning the worship of Amun. And for good reason too, look at the end of the New Kingdom. The High Priests of Amun were so powerful and influential they outright declared themselves as Pharaohs and the ACTUAL Pharaoh at Tanis had to just sort of live with it.

And I, Moroni, have written upon these plates the things that the Brother of Jared saw. And I have made these plates after the pattern that hath been shown unto me by my father. And the Lord hath commanded me that I should seal up these things; that in the day that one shall be found worthy, even one who shall demonstrate faith in the Lord, even as the Brother of Jared did upon the mount; that in that day these things shall be delivered unto him with the interpreters thereof. And a commandment I give unto him who shall receive these things, that he shall leave this portion of the plates sealed until the day cometh that he shall receive a commandment of the Lord to translate them. And thou shalt translate these things by the gift and power of God. Therefore, I have sealed up the interpreters with this record according to the commandment of the Lord so that thou shalt be able to translate therewith. And he that will contend against these things, let him be accursed; and also he that shall deny these things, let him also be accursed; for unto them I will show no greater things, saith the Lord. For in that day that men shall begin to exercise faith in me, even as the Brother of Jared did, then will I manifest unto them these things, even unto the unfolding unto them all of my revelations, saith the Lord, even Jesus Christ. Come unto the God of Israel, Oh, ye Gentiles, and he will show unto you the knowledge which is hid up because of your unbelief. Come unto the Lord of Hosts and it shall be made manifest unto you the great things which the Father hath laid up for you from the foundation of the world, and it hath not come unto you because of your unbelief and the hardness of your hearts. Behold, when ye shall rend that veil of unbelief which causeth you to remain in your awful state of wickedness, and hardness of heart, and blindness of mind, then shall the great and marvelous things which have been hidden from the foundation of the world from you, shall be made known unto you. Therefore, when ye shall receive this record of the writings of the Brother of Jared, then shall ye know that the work of the Father hath commenced upon the face of all the earth. And if ye shall call upon the Father in the name of Jesus with a broken heart and a contrite spirit, then ye shall know that the Father hath remembered the covenants which he hath made unto the house of Israel and unto all the world.🌿🌿🌿 🔘My actual message: You can download it from the internet thru google or yahoo search engine.

One of the possible reasons why they died so young, was the incest. Tutanchamun was married to his half-sister Ankhesenamun (as was tradition with Egyptian royalty), and since the tradition had been going on for quite a while, it's reasonable that around Tut's time it was showing the 'disadvantages' of constantly marrying siblings to each other.

Kind of virtual reconstruction, I think, that shows how Tut looked like... And he was very weir, he couldn't walk well, he had a strange mouth, and probably he needed a cane.

That's one way to try and shoehorn the religions of disparate cultures together! I mean, it's not terribly respectful to the Egyptians to say that their gods were just someone else's gods with funny masks, and the timeline definitely doesn't work out, but points for creativity.

I think it is quite the sign of respect actually. To basically go out and say that we believe your gods and our gods are the same is a reasonably significant thing. Yes it sounds strange but if you had to put down a reason for why they have animalistic faces in one religion but not another masks does seem like a pretty easy solution. Sadly our own understanding of these relations is coloured by our history of colonialism and racism. It is hard for us to see these now without imposing the idea that one people saw themselves as inherently superior to another. I am not saying the Greeks didn't see themselves as better but certainly not a racial way.

Also: Akhenaten was mildly deformed and largely ignored by his parents. I think that's why he turned out that way. He changed art so then people had to look at him for who he was and he praised the Aten because he saw it as his only source of support and power.

Yo, 2 years later I know it, but I just had an exam on ancient egypt so I'm still feeling passionate about the subject. We actually don't have any proof that akhenaten was deformed in any way, and the artistic style wasn't probably realistic. We can say that because akhenaten and nefertiti's head profiles are almost identical, to the point that we're not always capable of recognizing who's who in their representations

My favorite Pharaoh. Trying to wrestle the real power away from the priesthood was a brave undertaking. Didn't quite last. But he tried.

I'm a simple girl, I see a new Overly Sarcastic Productions video, I click on it. Always worth it.:)

I got to see an exhibit of King Tut when I was five or so and it made an impression. I've been interested in Egypt ever since. And recently I read about Ma'at-which means order/balance. Ma'at was why Egypt lasted so long, was so successful, and "better than anyone else". Akhenaten set Ma'at on fire and threw it out the window. That's why he was so hated and they tried to erase him from history.

Would totally love to see Red do a summary of Mika Waltari's The Egyptian.

I know I have never mentioned this but I love the fact that you use the Age of Mythology sound track for these videos. It just fits so perfectly that I can't help but to love this channel, and your videos, even more.

The hoard of clay tablets at Amarna have a similar story to the ones at Mari and Nineveh: all three were buried by their enemies to erase these cultures from history, but the actual result was that these collections were discovered intact and are now the best documented eras of the ancient world.

This is one of my favorite parts of Ancient Egypt to study; the Amarna Era. I've done a couple class projects and essays based around it. I'm actually in the middle of one of them now! The timing for this video's release couldn't be more perfect, because I need that little extra push to get more work done on that said project. 😺👍 That said, you did a good job going over the subject. I just love this topic, and it was a special treat to see you cover it (much like the Arthurian Tale video some weeks back was). I'm a history buff in general, but I'd love to see more Ancient Egypt videos like this in the future. Keep it up!

Just started to learn about this in class! Watched your Vids night before and got an A+ (I think the animation that red does also helps me remember it easier, and blue doesn't sound like a shabby rude history teacher like mine so it really helps too LOL). I love your videos!! They actually help me alot in school! Keep up the AMAZING work!!

For the first time, I find myself glad to have survived the various tribulations and vicissitudes until I reached this new realm of free dissemination of data. Nice work.

What did Tutankhamun's ancestors say when he showed up in the afterlife so young? Akhenaten believe it.

I love this channel 😍😍😍

Wow. Thanks for telling me some new stuff about this guy that I've never heard of before.

Solid choice for background music, one of the better Age of Mythology tracks.

Common misconception: King Tut's Tomb was actually raided as most of the smaller items someone should find in the tomb are missing, the only reason it wasn't raided completely is due to a mudslide in the area covering the tomb and setting harder than my old roommate's pudding.

Nice touch with the Age of Mythology background music! I've lost count of how many hours I spent with that soothing background melody in my ears as I directed the might of the gods to smite my enemies! >:D

Wow this is awesome •^•

I find a possible connection between Akenaten‘s theology and the Old Testament/Judaism really interesting. It’s all speculation of course, but there are some clues like the Sun Hymn being quite similar to Psalm 104 or the little detail that the founder of the religion had an Egyptian name (Moses).

Maybe the Aten cult did linger on for some generations at which point there was a final purge and the true believers fled next door to Canaan where they taught their religion, using the pre-existing weather-god Yahweh (or maybe Elohim) as a frame to project their monotheistic beliefs onto.

klasnm _ Well, one alternative would simply be that being neighbours, some sort of low-level cross-pollination happened, like similar preferences for certain types of religious poetry, etc. And I could think of more. It could be a coincidence, maybe it was just a random text that some Bible editor liked and adapted, etc. As for Moses, we do have the Biblical story itself as an explanation, albeit admittedly an unlikely one, even when taking the supernatural elements out of it. But again, there could be other options, e.g. it could be an old Hebrew name that was garbled over the centuries and later interpreted to be Egyptian. But having said all that, it’s just more interesting to speculate that the Aton religion could have survived and later merged with a local cult to form Judaism. In that case Akhenaten would in a way be the father of the world we live in today, despite his failure to establish his religion.

Magical Mystery Pharaohs!! Sounds like an anime I'd totally watch

I'm using the Odin is Santa T-shirt as the inspiration for an essay for artefacts looking at whether a legend can die (yes, I do know that they can be forgotten but they still seem to last through other religions and legends; quite a few proto-indo-European gods have been reconstructed by comparing religions/folklore from Europe)

Interesting! Also feels particularly relevant right now.

And they were mindful of the plight in which the poor class of the people found themselves under the reign of the pharaohs. 70 And they began to teach their son that there was but one God, and that God would not want that any of His children suffer as the poor were being forced to suffer because of the wickedness of the rich. And they were gentle people who gave what they could to relieve the suffering of those who suffered. 71 And the father of Ubaid was one of the chief laborers who was assigned to the upkeep and maintenance of the statues of the gods that adorned the great houses in which the Pharaoh and his wives dwelt. For the Pharaoh had many wives, he being considered a god who had this right. 72 And the Pharaoh trusted the father of Ubaid and gave unto him great authority over all those who were his servants in his own household. And the father of Ubaid was a just man who dealt justly with all the servants of the Pharaoh, and therefore, was highly esteemed among them for the way that he exercised the authority that he had been given over them by the Pharaoh. 73 And for this reason, Akhenaton was allowed to play with Ubaid all the days of their youth. For it was not permitted by their laws, that the upper class had established for them, that their children, who were esteemed above the children of the lower class, should play with or associate with other children who were not of their own class. 74 But it came to pass that Akhenaton became like a brother unto Ubaid. And while in the house of Ubaid, he would listen to the words of the father of Ubaid and ponder upon them in his heart. 75 And it came to pass, that at a certain time, it was required of Ubaid that he pass through the circumcisions that were customary among the people of Egypt in introducing their young males into adulthood. But among the upper class, it was not a requirement for them. For they had more sanitary environments in which they lived. But of the lower classes, it was a law that all males receive this circumcision. 76 And Akhenaton was forbidden from that time forward to associate with the children of the servants of his father, the Pharaoh. And Akhenaton was exceedingly sorrowful because of the loss of his friend. And he kept this sorrow in his heart because of the power of his father; and also his fear of the judgment of his father, the Pharaoh. 77 But Akhenaton wanted to be circumcised like unto his friend Ubaid so that he could always remember the friendship that they enjoyed as children. 78 And it came to pass that Ubaid grew and was wrought upon by the Holy Ghost. And he was taught the commandments and laws of God, and also the truth pertaining unto God. And he was called to preach repentance to the Egyptian people and show unto them the things wherein they had corrupted the truth concerning the commandments of the Father. 79 And it came to pass that as Ubaid taught the people these things, he was bound and imprisoned by those priests who were threatened by what he preached. And these priests, who were the holy priests of the gods in which the people had been taught to believe, had him bound according to the laws of the land, which did not permit anyone to speak contrary to the teachings of the priests of Pharaoh. 80 And Ubaid was held in captivity for many days and was given little to eat and drink. And his father went unto the Pharaoh and threw himself at the feet of his master and begged for mercy for his son. 81 And the Pharaoh knew not that which had been done by his priests, for they had hidden this thing from him. And the Pharaoh commanded that his priests give unto him an account of all that they had done unto Ubaid, and also an account of why they had done these things. 82 And the priests came before the Pharaoh and told unto him all manner of lies concerning the effect that the preaching of Ubaid was having on the people of Egypt. 83 And now, it would have been no great thing, if Ubaid had spoken of his beliefs and kept them to himself. But when his beliefs began to cause contentions and disputations among the people of Egypt, as the wicked priests reported to the Pharaoh, the Pharaoh was obligated by the laws of their nation to take the life of him who causeth contention, so that the peace of the kingdom would not be affected.

"You're never to young to help reverse a change to the status quo, no matter how potentially catastrophic" *cough* topical *cough* biting social commentary *cough*

That age of mythology music hits muh nostalgias in all the right ways.

That last moral is rather surprisingly apt about today's world, given what's been happening lately. Also, please do Ramesses next!

Akenaten - The Heretic king of Egypt. The guy was a crazed loon but it is fascinating to see how intense his changes actually were.

Not so much "crazy" as he was particularly zealous about his own monotheistic sectarian beliefs. Ironically, I'm pretty sure Aristotle would have approved.

5 Best Pharaohs in History/Media 1. Atem 2. Tutankhamun(if you've watched Tutenstein you know why) 3. 4. 5. Fill in the blanks

Aha! I was waiting for someone to say something about Atem. Every time he said "Aten" I was like "hey, wait a minute...oh no that's something else" Perhaps Seto deserves a spot on your list?

BTW for anyone who wants more about Akhenaten and his reign there is a really good episode of BBC's In Our Time podcast that goes into a little more detail. Like for example how Akenatena new city of Amarna was in the middle of the desert and there for inhospitable and how many of the houses in the city had small shrines to the old deities hidden away.

This is my first blue video and that's it. You're both precious. I both love you.

Can you guys summarized Pride and Prejudice please???? Love you so much!

I had an obsession with Akhenaten, when I did a project on him in high school. I speculated that he suffered from Marfan Syndrome, and that there is some evidence that his family hid him away in his childhood due to his unusual deformed appearance and bizarre body shape - extremely broad curvy hips, like a female; with a domed skull like an egg and stretched features, in addition to being very tall. His son, the famous Tutankhamen's mummified body exhibits similar, albeit less extreme, characteristics. As to that last statement in the video: there was ah aphorism I once heard from an historical documentary, "If you build a monument to yourself and desire it to stand for 1000 years, you had best make sure you live 1000 years, as the will that caused its creation is oftentimes equalled with the desire to pull it down when you are dead."

Just watched a 1 minute ad for you guys and i'd do it all again.

Blue! Con you PLEEEASE so a video on the napoleonic years? Or at least the French revolution? There is so much to say but is hard to find a good summary

Love the use of the Music from Age of Mythology

My favourite Akhenaten/Tutankhamen fact is that the reason his tomb was so packed and so well preserved in part was because they wanted to chuck everything that they could from Akhenaten in the non-king tomb Tut had to make do with so it would never again see the light of day/the sun disc.

That end music always makes me want to play Age of Mythology again.

To be fair, at least the sun disc is real.

Philip Glass wrote an entire opera on Akhenaten. Good stuff.

I know this Is probably already been requested a lot but can you do a video on cleopatra? I know that most of her history is easy to find, but I would love to see a video by you on it since you explain things so clearly and easily.

NOOOO. You forgot to talk about Tut's wife and her letters to try and avoid civil war after her husband died!

Yasss!!! My boi! Akneaten, Nefertiti and Tut are who go me into Ancient Egypt when I was like 7! I gush about it my friends all the time!

Good info

Fun fact, if you have ever played/heard of the Funcom mmo The Secret World Akhenaten was a major antagonist in the 2nd area in Egypt.

I only know about this guy because of the Secret World MMO. In the game, his cult to Aten was because of the influence of an eldritch "Filth" which was the corrupting influence of dreaming Elder gods. :)

I was wandering if you guys could do a mythology episode on Artemis and Orion, I have heard a lot of different versions.

would love to see pilgrims progress. never got through that one all the way. just a suggestion love your videos

What a hectic

Is the backing track...from age of mythology???? I have a powerful urge to research better armor now.

loving the AOM music

Common misconception: he was not monotheistic but Henotheistic, meaning he did not outlaw the worship of other deities, but Aten was the only one that mattered. He did however deface all the images of Amun because he thought it was a bastardization of Ra. That said, great channel, most accurate I've seen talking about history.

Hey, blue. Do you have any plans of making videos on the history of archaelogic expeditions with some context. What was with a Napoleon and his egyptian campaign and why did they have found anything. What artifacts the british did break, once they have dug up Tutankhamun's tomb?

Several jars, Tut's body - it was not pretty - there are some broken bones to get that mask off, and others. Napoleon's campaign found other important things - Rosetta stone for one.

Akhenaten - when “praise the sun” goes a bit too far.

I did my middle school Ancient Egypt project on Akenaten. My research pointed me more in the direction of "he made religious reforms as a political play to win power back from the priesthood for the throne" rather than wanting his OC to be the only god of Egypt.

Hat-cheap-suit is my fav Egyptian leader in the Civ games...

*me, a British person, coughs and awkwardly shuffles to the back*

Great vid! Came here from Extra History’s video, and there’s a small discrepancy - he said new discovered all this when a woman unearthed tablets, leading to the discovery of the nearby ruined capital. So what combination of stories is true?

I'm really hoping Blue becomes an Ancient History teacher. I wish he could have been mine when I was at school.

You can use Age of Mythology Soundtrack and monetize the video ? Is it free like that ? Awesome video anyway, and awesome music !!!!!

Hey Red you should do Heisids Theogony to give some back ground on all of the greek gods.
