Translations:Ikhnaton and Nefertiti/4/en

Thirty-three centuries ago, Ikhnaton (or Akhenaten, as the name is sometimes spelled) recognized the one God in the spiritual Sun behind the physical sun, and he called this God “Aton.” Ikhnaton visualized the Infinite One, Aton, as a divine being “clearly distinguished from the physical sun” yet manifest in the sunlight. Ikhnaton gave reverence to the “heat which is in the Sun,” as he saw it to be the vital heat that accompanied all Life.^[1]
