Topic: Aten



  
 Aten - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aten was the focus of Akhenaten's religion, sort of like a grand mandala.
This is readily apparent in the Great Hymn to the Aten.
His worship (Atenism) was instituted as the basis for the mostly monotheistic — in fact, monistic — religion of Amenhotep IV, who took the name Akhenaten.

 Cult of Aten 2
The life of Aten was his life, and his life was Aten's life, and therefore he was Aten; his spiritual arrogance made him believe that he was an incarnation of Aten, i.e., that he was God--not a mere "god" or one of the "gods" of Egypt--and that his acts were divine.
To Aten Amenhetep ascribed the attributes of the old gods, Tem, Ra, Horus, Ptah, and even of Amen, and he proclaimed that Aten was "One" and "Alone." But this had also been proclaimed by all the priesthoods of the old gods, Tem, Khepera, Khnem, Ra, and, later, of Amen.
Per-Aten at Thebes; Aakhutaten in Southern Anu (Hermonthis); the House of Aten in Memphis; and Res-Ra-em-Anu.

 Egypt: Gods - The Great Aten, The God and Disk of the Sun
These passages show that Aten, at the time when the hymns from which they are taken were composed, was regarded as the material body of the sun wherein dwelt the god Ra, and that he represented merely the solar disk and was visible emblem of the great Sun-god.
It was, however, impossible for the priests of Amen -Ra to tolerate the presence of the new god Aten and his worship in Thebes, and the relations between the king and that powerful body soon became strained.
On the one hand the king asserted the superiority of Aten over every god, and on the other the priests declared that Amen-Ra was the king of the gods.

 The Egyptian God Aten Before and After Akhenaten
Aten had to be forced on the Egyptian people, and outside of Akhetaten (and really even there) and the official state religion, Aten never replaced all the traditional Egyptian gods.
The hymn abounds with descriptions of nature and with the position of the king in the new religion.
Yet, Aten was not a god of the people during the reign of Akhenaten.

 Egypt: Gods - The Great Aten, Aten Worship
Thus Amen-Ra, conquered Aten, Thebes once more became the capitol of Egypt, the priests of Amen regained their ascendancy, and in less than twenty-five years after the death of Amen-hetep IV his city was deserted, the sanctuary of his god was desecrated, his followers were scattered, and his enemies were undisputed of the country.
The high-priest of Aten assumed the title of the high-priest of Ra ar Heliopolis, Ur-maau, and in many respects the new worship was carried on at Khut-Aten by means of many of the old forms and ceremonies of the Heliopolitain priesthood; on stated occasions the king himself officiated.
The worship of Aten as understood by Amen-hetep IV was, however, a very different thing from the ancient worship of Aten, for whereas that was tolerent the new worship was not.

 Psalm 104 and The Hymn To Aten
Aten, similar to the ancient Egyptian god "Ra", was represented by the sun-disk, was the creator of all life, and was a god of goodness and divine benevolence.
The longest of these hymns to Aten is noted to be similar to the Psalm 104, written for the Bible hundreds of years later.
Among the few remains of his cult were hymns found written in the tombs of the proselytes at Amarna.

 Aten - City of Life - GameWyrd
Aten also maintains a venerable navy that was developed by both the humans and minotaurs of the realm and numbers 20 galleys, 50 warships, and is supported by 150 keel-boats.
Within the forums of the acropolis, shrines and worshippers can be found of most of the other deities as well, who gather to discuss the ways of divinity, the promise of rebirth, the essence of love, the ideology of philosophy, the inevitability of death, the glory of holy battle, and the joy of life.
Temples dedicated to Atinus, Poena, Eredine, Mortacia, Atricles, and Urthur, all exist within Aten, though Dyanetzia is by far the most commonly worshipped deity.

His most famous creation for Aten was the Hymn to the Aten.
In worshipping Aten, Akhenaten banished the old gods and closed the temples.
Throughout the reign, the common-folk were not afraid to hide two deities from Akhenaten: Bes and Taweret, birh deities.

 ANCIENT EGYPT : Great Hymn to the Aten
The Aten subsumes into itself all the different gods who create and maintain the universe, and the king is the living image of the Aten on earth.
Between the Aten and Akhenaten, the same co-substantiality existed as between the Christian God and His unique Son Christ.
Rather, the Aten took the place of the divine realm as a whole, with light as his "immanence", however with the exclusion of the hidden, the netherworld and the "zep tepi", the first time emerging in the Nun with the self-creation of Atum.

 History of Egyptian Religion VI, The Cult of Aten
The Aten is mentioned as early as the Middle Kingdom, and gained some attention in the beginning of the 18th Dynasty, but it was not considered a separate solar deity until the 26th Dynasty.
The Hymn to Aten holds few elements that have not been attributed to other deities and there is particular likeness to hymns to Amen-Re.
As no cult statue of the new god was to be seen or paraded on festival days and no fascinating mythology was there to be told, they saw no reason to change their beliefs.

 Virtual Tour #4- Akhenaten and the Aten Religion
It seems that processionals were used often, apparently for the glory of the Aten and as a show of royal power and proximity to the Aten.
Thus, while the Aten religion was all but forgotten, its legacy in Egyptian religion was subtle yet significant.
By the ninth year of his reign, Akhenaten had built the Great Temple at Amarna and Aten was the only god left in the official Egyptian worship.

 ATEN : The deity from Egyptian Mythology
ATEN: A minor Sun God who became Top Creator God of the world's first monotheistic religion.
He changed his name to Akhenaten (He Who Worships Aten) and proclaimed henceforth there was only one God: ATEN.
Monotheism was such a momentous concept that it may well have been taken on board by the Israelites in their great Exodus - along with various Egyptian hymns and prayers.
http://www.godchecker.com/pantheon/egyptian-mythology.php?deity=ATEN   (438 words)

  
 Amen and Aten
The claim of being the “first monotheist” of world hisotry was made for Akhnaten on the basis of his hymn to that deity, by Egyptologists and then turned again in booksof authors writing on religion or history in general.
If Amen and Aten were both solar deities, then the passions that accompanied the change of the cult—first from Amen to Aten and, after Akhnaten, back from Aten to Amen—must have had their origin in something that is yet unexplained.
Thus we see that the identification of Amen with Helios or the sun is not built on anytning but a priori thinking, as expressed by E. Renan, who wrote that the only astral religion that appears natural is the worhip of the sun, the great luminary, the giver of light and warmth, and life itself.

 Egyptian gods: Aten, Aton
All other gods were banned and their temples closed or their priests "converted" to Aten.
The eccentric king Amenhotep IV then took the name Akhenaten, built a new capital and declared that just a single deity should be worshipped - the sun disk Aten, depicted with rays like arms giving life, peace and equality to all.
It now became the symbol of a slightly pacifistic view of life and had no human form.

 Egyptian God-Aten
The king considered the Aten to be the creative force in the universe and the only god worthy of his worship.
The heretic king made an effort it seems, to unite all the peoples of Egypt under one god.
He abolished the traditional cults of Egypt and replaced them with the Aten.

Aten was then depicted as a sundisc with rays ending in life-giving hands.
This temple was called Per Aten (house of Aten)and included at least three sanctuaries, where one of them was called the 'mansion of Bn-ben', thereby linking to the Primeval Mound on which the sun god appeared to create the world in the sun cult at Heliopolis.
During the Amarna period, under the reign of Akhenaten (Amenhotep IV) the sundisc, as a heavenly body, was exalted to be the only god in existence, something which had been unheard of hitherto in Egyptian religion, and which undoubtedly caused much consternation among the priesthood.

 aten
disk-worship, as a special religion, disappeared; and Aten sank back into his old position of inferiority and subordination.
It might have been supposed that there could be nothing very peculiar in this worship, or at any rate nothing to make it antagonistic to the rest of the Egyptian religion.
Yet there was certainly a time when such an antagonism developed itself, and Aten, who had previously been only one of the many sun-gods, was elevated above every other deity, and even worshipped almost exclusively,

However, Akhenaten held other deities in reverence too, and his Atenism was not entirely monotheism.
