Actually, in HIS belief system, that afterlife scenario didn't exist. One just sort of "became one" (or "went into the light") with the Aten.

Remember that there is no monolithic belief system here -- things vary across time and location and some things are not known (because we don't have a written explanation. We do know that at least some of the people of Egypt believed Akhenaten worthy of being punished (or eaten by Amit) in the afterlife - but we don't know if this is a universal belief or something done for political reasons.

And in any case, this has strayed far from the original topic which was something about geometry. The post I was responding to was attempting to make a religiously significant object and foundational deposit item (solar sphere) out of a pounder on the grounds that it represented something geometric.

I would be happy to discuss this in another thread specifically for this topic, but for now....this is getting very far astray from the main subject.
