Summary Of Moses 'Akhenaten' By Sigmund Freud

150 Words1 Pages
Moses was Akhenaten
There is a conspiracy primarily started by Sigmund Freud with his book, Moses and Monotheism, that states that the Israelite Moses was actually the Egyptian Pharaoh Akhenaten who ruled ~1353 BC to 1336 BC as part of the Eighteenth dynasty of Egypt. People such as Freud will point out how the Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt was actually the Exodus of Akhenaten from Egypt. The story of Moses in Egypt is said to be a cover for the followers of Akhenaten.

Akhenaten, previously known as Amenhotep IV, was one of the most controversial Pharaohs to rule Egypt. As pharaoh, Akhenaten changed the polytheistic religion of Egypt to a monotheistic religion devoted to the Aten, which was depicted as a sun disk. The Egyptians despised this radical idea, but were forced to change their religion, art and their overall way of life. His reign began at around 1353 BC in the 18th Dynasty, following the death of his father Amenhotep III, and lasted until 1336 BC. His father’s reign was peaceful and prosperous, leaving Akhenaten with an Egypt of immense power and wealth.

Pharaoh Akhenaten and Arachne In Egyptian antiquity, Akhenaten was a real pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty who ruled for 17 years and died perhaps in 1336 BC or 1334 BC.

The story of Moses as a young man was portrayed in the episode for the purpose of a backstory on Moses’ past, although his past is never mentioned in the Bible. Therefore the feud between Moses and Pharaoh’s son and the frequent battles between the two were probably portrayed to emphasize the tension Moses might have felt his whole life, even if he did not know of his descent. Another noteworthy difference is how Pharaoh’s daughter found Moses, and how his sister is not revealed in the episode’s version of his journey down the Nile.
