Seeing his face carved is one of the highlights of visiting Neues Museum in Berlin (as well as his wife, obviously). He is indeed an intriguing person, who is also the subject for a rather wonderful eponymous opera by Philip Glass.

Looks like it's last night is tomorrow if anyone wants to catch it: https://www.eno.org/whats-on/akhnaten/ https://www.eno.org/whats-on/akhnaten/ Binoculars were handy because the Pharaoh costumes were amazing. You don't have to be an opera buff - Glass is is great if you like electronica. It's an opera that could justify having a dance floor for throwing some shapes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEYPaZeLhLg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEYPaZeLhLg
