Ethnic Ideology during the Amarna Period: Limit or Contact with Otherness?
Main Article Content
Abstract
During the New Kingdom there was an expansion of the boundaries, a strong centralization and internal stability, which is undeniable highlight about control by the monarchy of the conquered territories and maintaining its position in the Levant against pressure from Mittani and Hittites. In particular, we will focus on Amarna period, which has traditionally had a pejorative vision based on the assumption of the royal ‘inability’ to intervene in political affairs, as well as the great ‘difficulties’ in maintaining effective control of the territory. However, several mechanisms were developed by legitimizing royal power in this context. Focusing on the phenomenological-hermeneutic stance from Romanian historian of religion Mircea Eliade (1957) and also based on the contributions of Fredrik Barth (1976), Jan Assmann (2005) and Pascal Vernus (2011), our goal is to analyze the Egyptian symbolic-religious interpretation from conception of foreign peoples and political interactions with them under the term of office of Akhenaten
