Akhenaten

As early as 1899 Flinders Petrie declared that,
If this were a new religion, invented to satisfy our modern scientific conceptions,

we could not find a flaw in the correctness of this view of the energy of the solar

system. How much Akhenaten understood, we cannot say, but he certainly bounded

forward in his views and symbolism to a position which we cannot logically improve

upon at the present day. Not a rag of superstition or of falsity can be found clinging

to this new worship evolved out of the old Aton of Heliopolis,

the sole Lord of the universe
