Akhnaten

About the show

After the funeral of Amenhotep III, Akhnaten is crowned and redirects worship toward the Aten, establishing a new city at Akhetaten with Nefertiti and their family. As the royal household turns inward, appeals for aid from the city’s threatened inhabitants go unanswered. Invaders destroy Akhetaten and kill the royal family; Tutankhamun later restores the old gods.
