    First published in 2005. This beautifully illustrated book explores the reign of the Pharaoh Tutankhamen and Egyptian religion of his time. Tutankhamen's relation to the cults of Amen and Aten, the sun-god and Egyptian Monotheism are covered in depth, dispelling the many myths and inaccuracies which have arisen in the literature. Hymns are also presented in the book, in original hieroglyphs and in translation.
