Akhenaten (1352-1336 BC) was son of Amenhotep III and Queen Tiy. During his reign both the art and religion in Egypt were marked by rapid change. When he initially succeeded the throne he was known as Amenhotep IV, but changed his name to Akhenaten in his fifth regnal year, and began to build a new capital called Akhetaten ("horizon of the sun"), in Middle Egypt. This phase, encompassing Akhenaten's and Smenkhkara's reign and the beginning of Tutankhamun's, is now referred to as the Armarna Period.
This modern sword pays tribute to this great philosopher of controversy and debate. Found with a cast metal handle with a simulated gold pommel and hilt with a hard polymer grip. This sword is 38.75 inches overall with a 30 inch 440 stainless steel blade (false edge). Comes complete with a hardwood plaque so you an display it proudly. |
