Title: Akhenaten (Amenhotep IV) was not a "neat guy"!
Review: Yet another book filled with an inaccurate rose-tinted view of Akhenaten and his rule. Akhenaten was very much a human, not an alien. Akhenaten was a political manipulator, ambitious and wanted to defy his father on every front. Hence the Amarna Heresy that was definitely NOT a breakthrough in religion for the people. Akhenaten appointed himself as the sole intermediary between the Divine and those whom he ruled - more akin to the absolutism of a Pope during the Inquisition, rather than an Extraterrestrial Messiah. Perhaps someday, Mr. Stewart will actually read history and not the newagy gobbeldy gook that is remincient of a very bad plot of a Scooby Doo mystery.
