@PugJesus They also tried to literally erase them from their recorded history. Fascinating stuff.

The pharaoh that succeeded Akhenaten? His son Tutenkhamun. King Tut... Tutenkh-Amun.. in honor of God Amun.

Edit: likely he had his mother or someone reign first for a short time while he was s child but eventually him.

To add to this, the context of the original photo is a home in Hollywood in 1923 from a member of the (obviously) deeply prejudiced "Hollywood Protective Association," with signs installed as part of a push by some residents to evict the Japanese-American community and curb additional settlement by non-white people.

As far as I can tell from a cursory search, there was no real material motivation at all, just racism and xenophobia following an increased number of Japanese migrants.

Bullshit. Many of us still worship the sun disk.

Neigh. Board. Hood.

Here's a fantastic breakdown of the life and troubles of Akhenaten.

Neat fact: Akhenaten's son is one of the most famous Egyptian pharoahs, Tutankhamun.

Might still show for the midsummer blot just to get blind drunk tho
