I'm Not Done Talking About Egypt Stuff And You're A Fool If You Thought So

Okay, we're BACK. I'm back anyway. I have very little concept of how interesting other people find my rambling. Anyway, so last time we covered The Heretic King himself, Amarna a bit, the weird art, the religion, a little bit about his mummy.

Unlike the last, I do not have a degree in this historical area so take what I say with a grain of salt. I will say straight out that there are SO MANY theories on this one and I'm mostly just gonna go with the ones I'm most interested in, but please recognize that what I say is not necessarily The Answer to all of the questions about this topic. If you're interested in other parts of the subject or have different opinions, side with different theories, etc., I'd truly love to hear about the
