Akhenaten – Amenhotep IV – Moses (died 1335 BC) 18th Dynasty Pharaoh of Egypt, Founder of Monotheism






Sigmund Freud had reason to believe that Akhenaten and Moses were the same. Both were family cast-offs and both were the first to embrace monotheism during the same time period in Egypt.

Akhenaten was the one and only High Priest of Amarna, which wasn’t a titular designation by any stretch of the imagination. His spiritual and metaphysical powers rivaled and in some cases exceeded that Solomon was known to have possessed. However, finally realizing the persecution of his followers by Egyptian priests wasn’t going to abate, he was forced to embrace traditional Egyptian religious beliefs for their sake.

Akhenaten’s kind of peculiar physique may be attributed to inbreeding. His father, Amenhotep III, may have fathered him with his aunt, Kiya Tadukhepa Mery Amon. This possible instance of Royal incest, though, wouldn’t have been an extraordinary cause for scandal because Pharaohs were highly covetous of their Royal bloodline, especially when no one else was found to be suitable at the time. Still, in-breeding often produces physical abnormality in affected issues as we see in Akhenaten’s case. Other Egyptologists, though, assert that Akhenaten purposefully ordered his body rendered to affect an androgynous quality of himself as a Sun god.

His granddaughter, Scota bint Smenkhkare, was the namesake of Scotland. Her son, Gáedal Glas, was the namesake of Gaul. They both fled Egypt sometime after Akhenaten’s death with other disciples of Amarna.

All the Milesian High Kings of Ireland, starting with Ir himself, are descendants from Akhenaten and Nel Nemnach mac Phoeniusa Farsidh, the Scythian architect who helped design and build the Tower of Babylon.

He’s ranked #160 in Hart’s Most Influential People in History – Top 500 List (125).

By Steven Wood Collins

I spent most of my life unaware of my ancestral heritage. Sure, I knew of the personal history of my more immediate relatives; but beyond that, I never had any inkling as to my ancestral heritage. Then one day many years ago my sister said to me, “I sometimes wonder about our family background.” And so my quest to discover our genealogical roots commenced.

I started building my family tree with the very basic relationships, going back in time from my grandparents, one ancestor at a time. That initial effort proved to be the hardest part of the pursuit, mainly due to my lack of expertise as a novice genealogical researcher. As I gained familiarity with the databases and how to efficiently mine them, my progress gained ever-increasing momentum. Today, The Patricians! tree (Ancestry.com) contains nearly 120,000 individuals, stretching over 135 generations, 5,800 of which are my direct ancestors in a genealogical sense.

During this trek back in time, I encountered fascinating figures in both history and obscurity. This blog contains many stories about their genealogical relationship to me (and many of you). By far and away, as a student of history, the historically obscure individuals are of particular interest to me. I cite Baron “Blue Beard” Montmorency-Laval de Rais (1405 – 1440) as an example of a historically maligned personage whose real contribution to history, as both a playwright and hero of France, has yet to be properly recognized. Another example is Earl Edward de Vere (1550 – 1604), who’s yet to gain widespread recognition as the actual author of the body of literary work wrongly ascribed to William Shakespeare (1564 – 1616).

My life-long interest in international economics and finance continues unabated. I primarily demonstrate this professional involvement as a contributor to the Long Room, the members-only international finance professionals' forum hosted by the Financial Times of London.

I'm an avid recreational scuba diver who enjoys traveling to exotic dive sites. My love of the sea and marine life gives me an unbounded appreciation and support of “green” issues, especially those devoted to the conservation of endangered species and coral reefs.
