Akhenaten, an Egyptian pharaoh, tried to elevate one god above all the other Egyptian gods, and his son, Tutankhamen, put an end to his religious reforms. This marked the first attempt at a monotheistic religion that introduced the idea of a single, all-powerful creator. But the priestly class and ordinary Egyptians, with all their household gods, rejected the new religion.

Ahmose was the Egyptian pharaoh who liberated his country from the domination of the Hyksos. The Hyksos were foreign invaders from the northeast, from the lands of Canaan and Syria, who ruled Egypt for about 200 years. Ahmose drove them out and reestablished Egyptian dominance and culture throughout the Middle East. Readers will be fascinated by this powerful ruler.
