Really enjoyed the conversation. Your insight into Akenaten and Trump was enlightening. You always help me look at these topic through a different lens. Thank you.
Dear Kara and Amber, Thank you for the interesting conversation that assisted me in washing my floors😉
I agree with Mary's comments above re your insights and comparisons to the current political changes.
I always go back to the idea that Akhenaten and ancient Kings and Queens were raised in an environment that was completely foreign to most of us. They had their every need met plus privilege, respect and power offered to them without earning it first. It is difficult to understand these self absorbed human beings or their actions? Kinda like our current president.
Ha we always listen to podcasts when doing housework! Love it! And understanding royalty is also understanding billionaire. They are different from us.
I 'm not sure if it was in this episode or another that you discussed the post-Akhenaten notion that "all gods are three", presumably in response to the Aten being one. My knowledge of Egyptian cosmology is limited but as I understand it, there was (at least around this time) an expression of three layers of creation: the eternal waters/underworld, human reality/the physical world and the sky/heavens. If this is correct, could this idea of a trinity be a way of expressing the gods each manifest (or have different manifestations) in each realm?

I’m here to do everything my training told me not to do. :)
