Amarna in the 21st century

This volume of KBSAÄ is dedicated to one of the dearly beloved topics of both Egyptology and the interested public: the so called Amarna-Period. Although brief in time – merely 17 years – this reign is seen as having left a major impact on Egyptian history, culture and religion. This volume brings together some recent researches concerning the Amarna-Period: Kristin Thompson: Stone Inlays from the Great Aten Temple: New Discoveries Natalia Klimczak: Who was Kiya Wolfgang Winter: Zur Chronologie der Beamtengräber in Tell el Amarna Heidi Köpp-Junck Ikonographische und textliche Belege für Frauen auf Streitwagen in der Amarnazeit Christian Huyeng Revolutionist or Reactionary?
