EP 5: Akenhaten/Amenhotep IV

This week on Hashtag History, we will be transporting ourselves back to ancient Egypt to take a closer look at one of the most controversial pharaohs to ever live! He was so controversial, in fact, that after he died, monuments of his were destroyed, his image was removed from statues, and his name was even expunged from the list of pharaohs so that Egyptians could pretend like his reign had never happened. So what did this guy do to get himself nearly removed from History?! Tune into the episode to find out!
