Cult of the Aten.

Akhenaten (Echnaton) was an Ancient Egyptian pharaoh, tenth ruler of the Eighteenth Dynasty. Before the 5th year of his reign, he was known as Amenhotep IV. He abandoned Egyptian polytheism & worshiped the the God Aten. His great royal queen was Nefertiti.

Aton's secrets. Power symbol Pharaoh: absolute power, royalty and divinity.

The Aten is the disk of the sun in Egyptian mythology, considered the only god and creator of the universe during Akhenaten rule.

Stylized profile of Queen Nefertiti, in simulated gold tones. One of the most famous personalities of Ancient Egypt.

This design is based of a talatat from Amarna in Ancient Egypt. Amarna was an 18th Dynasty city established by one of the most notorious pharaohs, Akhenaten. A talatat was a standardized piece of limestone that was used for construction and often decorated in beautiful imagery, sometimes relating to the worship of the Aten. Here the talatat represented a field of ripe barley, swaying in the breeze. I've recreated this as a block print and printed it by hand in before scanning it.
