The Great Hymn to the Aten
This is the first part in a new series I'm trying out where I will present religious texts (or parts of texts) that are interesting or noteworthy. This one features the "Great hymn to the Aten", an ancient religious text in devotion to the god "Aten" that was allegedly written by Pharaoh Akhenaten during the tumultuous era known as the "Amarna period" when the old pantheon of gods was seemingly temporarily replaced with a single, universal God of the sun (or more, precisely - light). It is for this reason that Atenism is sometimes considered the first monotheistic religion in the world, which would make this hymn one of the first religious expression of monotheism ever. It also just happen to be very beautiful, aside from being historically significant. What do you think of it? Let's discuss in the comments. Translation used: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/museums-static/...
