A newly discovered Egyptian carving, which dates back more than 3,300 years, bears the scars of a religious revolution that upended the ancient civilization.
The panel, carved in Nubian Sandstone, was found recently in a tomb at the site of Sedeinga, in modern-day Sudan. It is about 5.8 feet tall by 1.3 feet wide, and was found in two pieces.
Originally, it adorned the walls of a temple at Sedeinga that was dedicated to Queen Tiye (also spelled Tiyi), who died around 1340 B.C. Several centuries after Tiye’s death and after her temple had fallen into ruin this panel was reused in a tomb as a bench that held a coffin above the floor.

Scars of a revolution
Archaeologists found that the god depicted in the carving, Amun, had his face and hieroglyphs hacked out from the panel. The order to deface the carving came from Akhenaten (reign 1353-1336 B.C.), a pharaoh who tried to focus Egyptian religion around the worship of the “Aten,” the sun disk. In his fervor, Akhenaten had the name and images of Amun, a key Egyptian god, obliterated throughout all Egypt-controlled territory. This included the ancient land of Nubia, a territory that is now partly in Sudan. Read More.

Aman was the age old God of Kam / Egypt,
The Hidden God, Hidden from His Children,
Hidden from The Gods,
His capital, was Egypt’s age old capital,
Nowe aka Thebes later known as Luxor,
Akhenaten sealed his own fate
when he moved the capital
from Thebes, to Akhet-Aten
because of his fantasy of Aten worship.
Not only was Thebes the capital,
it was the center of learning via the Priest Teachers,
it was the university city
with the highest number of temples anywhere in the world,
in essence it was the center of Egypt, it’s navel,
the home of the ancient African God, Aman.
Akhenaten did not understand that
Thebes was the Geodetic Center of Egypt,
hence the world, and
therein lay the power of Aman,
for it encapsulated all that was
Egypt’s Wisdom and Science,
