When we consider the Cretans and Hittites, the powers of Babylonia
and Assyria, and the internal conditions in Syria and Palestine, it
can hardly be doubted that the reign of Akhetaten marks a turning
point, notably in Egyptian history, but also in the wider history
of the ancient world. Here the author vigorously reproduces this
age, to show the intensely human interest that lies in the story of
religion and art of decadence and reform.
