El Amarna was such a special in history and we see it as the sun on its highest point. The knowledge of the source was very strong at that time. We will tell you passionately about this city build by Akhenaten and Nefertiti.
Abydos can be seen as the end of a cycle. The sun goes down again and takes a dive into the underworld of Osiris.
