Imagine the leader of a dynastic family takes as much power as he can away from the only other people with any power in a country and then creates a cult of personality around himself. It could only happen in ancient Egypt...right?
Akhenaten ripped an entire culture apart in his quest to assert his authority over it, while simultaneously ignoring external threats to his power. He is without doubt one of the dumbest people in History!
