Echnatons Reformen werden meist als rein innerägyptischer Wandel betrachtet. Doch die Späte Bronzezeit war kosmopolitisch. Über Generationen gab es intensive, familiäre Beziehungen zwischen den Höfen der Grosskönige, in deren Selbstdarstellung öfters eine Hybridisierung festgestellt werden kann. Entsprechend sollten Elemente von Echnatons Revolution auch als eine Auseinandersetzung mit Trends in Vorderasien gesehen werden: der Bau einer königlichen Residenzstadt und die Schaffung des nicht-anthropomorphen Strahlenaton als neuer Gottheit Akhenaten‘s reforms are usually seen as purely internal Egyptian change. But the Late Bronze Age was cosmopolitan. For generations, there were intense family relations between the courts of the great kings, in whose self-presentation a hybridization was established. Accordingly, elements of Akhenaten‘s revolution should be seen as an engagement with trends from the Ancient Near East: the construction of a royal residential city and the creation of the non-anthopomorphic sun-disc with arms as a new deity
