Today in Beirut, my Egyptology students and I discussed Akhenaten, Nefertiti, and the “Hymn to the Aten.”

The lands of Khor (Syro-Palestine) and Kush (Sudan)
and the land of Egypt:
you set every man in his place,
you allot their needs,
every one of them according to his diet,
and his lifetime is counted out…

— The Hymn to the Aten
