TOMBS OF THE TIME OF THE "HERETIC" AKHENATEN Akhenaten, the "heretical" Pharaoh, had exhorted his courtiers to be buried around his new capitol of Akhetaten. Only a few tombs have been dug, offering a rare insight into Amarnian theology, to plans of the city, etc. AMENOPHIS IV - AKHENATEN I offer you a visit in 36 photos of the Amarnian tomb of the famous Pharaoh called the "heretical". The tomb is very damaged but its historic importance is considerable. MERYRA Meryra is the only High Priest known of the Aten cult in Amarna. Although damaged, his tomb remains one of the most beautiful and the most interesting of the north group. AY Having lived and held important responsibilities under the reigns of Akhenaten, Smenkhkare and Tutankhamun before becoming king in his turn, Ay can be seen as an excellent witness and participant at the time of the Aten revolution and the religious restoration. His tomb in Amarna is especially revealing with aesthetics and religious sensitivity to Akhetaten
