Papyrus and ducks
Three ducks flying in a marshy landscape; the bushes are papyrus on the right and sedge on the left. These paintings decorated the floor of Akhenaten's palace in Amarna.
Akhenaten was an ancient Egyptian pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty (New Kingdom) and son of Amenophis III and Queen Teje. He elevated the god Aton, in the form of the sun disk, to god over all the gods of Egypt and consecrated his new capital Achet-Aton to him. This ruler pursued a strictly inward-looking policy and reformed the arts. In his 6th year of reign, he built a new city as the main cult centre of Aton, which he also made his seat of government. In the same year of his reign Akhenaten also had an Aton sanctuary built in the area of the Karnak temple to the east of the Amun district. Akhenaten's reign is dated differently: ca. 1351-1334 BC, 1340-1324 BC (Helck) or 1353-1336 BC (Krauss).
