Episode overview
More than 3,000 years ago the rebel Pharaoh Akhenaten marched his people from Thebes to a desert plain beside the Nile. Within 20 years a huge new city was constructed dedicated to the Pharaoh's new god. This would be a place of abundance overseen by Akhenaten and his queen Nefertiti. After 25 years of digging, forensic evidence sheds new light on life and death under the rebel pharaoh. Was he really a benign leader or a ruthless despot with a keen eye for propaganda? 5/6.
