Pharaoh Akhenaten and the position of Thebe

When pharaoh Akhenaten turned the capital of ancient Egypt from Thebe to the city of Amarna and made the form of the city by using the cosmological positioning of the buildings, many Egyptians might think that this man got too much sunshine. The reforms what that pharaoh made were radical and also very interesting, because for some reasons that man started the biggest religion reform in history.

Was Akhenaten try to capture some of the Gods of ancient Egypt? This part of the text has been written by using modern language. And even we don't believe UFOs or humanoids, we must remember that ancient Egyptians believed that the Gods were walking in the middle of people. They believed that the Gods were like us and in that time the religion had a strong influence on the Egyptian society, what was controlled by using some magic or legerdemain tricks, what confessed people, that the priests were conductors of the will of the gods.

That thing was true because those persons told people the will of Pharoah, and if somebody had different opinions, that person was eaten to Alligators. If we are thinking about Akhenaten and the claimed attempt to capture some ancient god, the thing is that Akhenaten did not need to get funding for those projects, and in that time the words of Pharoah were the law.

And if that man ordered something, that thing made without excuses. Theories are theories until they are proven true or false, so that means that we have the right to say what we want about that strange pharaoh, who wanted to make good things, but failed because he was too radical and act too fast, and people had no time to flex in a new situation. Maybe bad hallucination caused that Akhenaten began his reforms. The thing why those reforms failed, was that people didn't understand what they were praise, and what was the reason, why everything was made in a different way than before. In the time of ancient Egypt the relationship with normal people, priests and pharaoh were different than today. Most ordinary people couldn't ever read. And maybe they didn't think about those things like modern people think. They might think that the gods were things that were used as the "stand-by" order before orders, what came from the highest rank officials.

Of course, there have been many imaginational theories or stories about ancient Egypt. And one thing is that the extraordinary way to create new capital to that country. The city of Amarna or Akhtaton was the biggest building site in that time. It acted only in a short period, and that has caused many theories what have more or less scientific backgrounds.

There has been introduced many theories about that city, and one of the most extraordinary was that the city was created for the UFO base, but there is no proves that any extraterrestrials have landed on that city, what seems quite interesting, and in some theories the model of that city was taken from some ancient ruins, what Akhenenaten  might be found. There was another even more interesting theory about that capital of Akhenaten and that is that the city was created for tempting the extraterrestrial spacecraft, and then the pharaoh soldiers could capture that thing, but that thing was not successful. Those things are interesting topics for discussions, but there is no physical evidence of the success of those projects. And even if Akhenaten believed these things that don't mean that the project was successful or there would be no evidence that Akhenaten spoke about UFOs.

And that thing is interesting because he was allowed to make those things, which made him one of the most remarkable pharaohs or statesmen in history. The thing was that Akhenaten had similar raising and education what other pharaohs had. That means that priests of Egypt might predict those reforms. But they didn't make a thing to deny them.

Even today the reason for the conversion of that man has caused questions and in some theories, the reason for the change of opinions of Akhenaten was so-called bad hallucinations, which caused some mushroom, what was taken in the wrong moment. If a person eats the mushroom what involves hallucination chemicals like LSD or psilocybin the results could be devastating if the person sees wrong images before that thing. And in some stories, what is told about that man, there was the case, where those mushrooms what was used in shaman or religious rituals caused the effect, where Akhenaten saw some giant bugs in the place of the priests.

During his rule, the temples of Egypt closed and the religion turned to monotheistic, where the one God whose name was Aton the target for the praise. Aton was abstract and also astral, which means that God has no physical form. When Akhenaten transforms the religion for the praise of astral God, the change was radical. Because of the temples of the ancient Egyptian religion were closed and the ceremonies were made outside, the priests of the ancient religion didn't educate during the period of Akhenaten. That made the pause to the bloodlines or tradition, which was very important for transferring the knowledge of between generations.

And after that, the power of those priests decreased in the ancient Egyptian society. But the thing is that the time of Akhenaten brought one very interesting idea in my mind. When the capital returned to Thebe, was the city the same, what it was before the reforms of Akhenaten? In that time any city in Egypt could take that name.

I think that the position as the capital of Egypt could please every city in that country. If we are thinking about the position of the Akhenaten the highest rank noblemen or how the highest power elite of ancient Egypt has been called during that time, those people lived with the pharaoh, and that means, that they might even not known, where Thebe was, or what it looks like. And if they would hurt the feels of the pharaoh, that thing might cause death or losing the position.

So those people might transfer the capital to some other city, than where it was before the time of Akhenaten. If we think about those people, they were similar to what we are. That means if they were been in the Thebes at a very young age, they remember things other ways than the adult remember them. So that might cause that some other city turned to use the name Thebe than the original Thebe.

And was that the reason for the reforms, and maybe someday this thing will dig out of the sand of Egypt. The sand what still hides many mysteries, what are the most fascinating in the history, what is told stories of the golden and great empire, what still fascinates the mind of the researchers, like archeologists, cryptologists and adventurists. And there are many things, what has been found, but many things, what are waiting for uncovering.
