Pharaoh of the Sun: Akhenaten and the Culture of Love

by Wayne Purdin

"Pharaoh of the Akhenaten and the Culture of Love" is a three-part love story. First, there is the passionate love between Akhenaten and Nefertiti and its testing as Akhenaten is forced to marry the seductive Princess Tadukhepa. Then there is the love between Akhenaten and the Aten, who speaks to his heart as he gazes upon the sun disk. His fiery devotion to his one true God puts him at odds against the powerful priesthood of Amen-Ra and the treacherous high priest, Meryptah. Finally, there is Akhenaten's love for his people and all peoples as he establishes a mystery school to teach the children of the leaders of Egypt and other nations. He is aided in this mission by his beloved Nefertiti, Meryra high priest of Aten, and his vizier Nakhtpaaten, also known as Joseph, son of Jacob. This book is the first in a series of four on the Sons of the Sun. It follows the origins and history of The Teaching from Akhenaten to the present day.

About the author

I am the lead curriculum editor at Grand Canyon University where I cofounded the Inklings writers' group. Authors Ruth Douthitt, Scott Barrett, and Lindsay Harrel are former members.

I have been a writer since I was 10. I love to write but hate publishing and marketing, but this year I have resolved to get the six books I have written published and market them. Pharaoh of the Sun is the first, soon to be followed by The Wonderful Wisdom of Oz

As a freelance editor, I have learned a lot from editing 44 novels of nearly every genre. I love editing autobiographies and memoirs the best because I feel it's my mission in life to help others leave a written legacy of their life stories and wisdom. I feel that is more valuable than anything else you can leave behind. My own self-help/ autobiography, Lessons on the Path, taken from the 100 best articles from my page at examiner.com will be published before the end of this year.

Small book but very interested. I liked the way Pharaoh was speaking to the sun god, also the scenes of the temples. Nice descriptions.

Revealing ancient mysteries of Egypt, the worship of the One, Aten, the great Pharaoh Akhenaten, with his wife, the beautiful Nefertiti, come to life. Also, a wonderful surprise awaits the reader tying the missions of Moses and Jesus to those same mysteries.

I looked everywhere but there’s no sequel yet. Would really like to read about their family life. I think the author is very inspired. Amazing read
