Legends of the Pharaohs | Episode 4: Akhenaton, the Enigma

He was one of the most controversial figures of all Antiquity. Crowned pharaoh as Amenhotep IV, he changed his name to Akhenaton whilst repudiating the gods of his ancestors. What role did the enigmatic Akhenaten really play in Egyptian history?

Focusing on the mighty 18th Dynasty, the founding era of the New Kingdom, Legends of the Pharaohs reveals how visionary pharaohs like Akhenaten, Nefertiti, and Tutankhamun reshaped the ancient world.

From radical religious revolutions to ambitious construction projects and deadly court conspiracies, this was a period of extraordinary transformation that saw Egypt rise from turmoil to become an unstoppable imperial power.

Blending cinematic storytelling with expert insight, this series opens a window into the lives, beliefs, and battles of the people who built one of the most iconic civilisations in human history.
